StarWind Software

I have just performed an in place upgrade of VSAN Free version 8.0.0.11818 to version 8.0.15020.0. All seemed to go okay, but now the iSCSI targets for the local upgraded node are stuck with status "Reconnecting".

On the non-upgraded node, the witness target from the upgraded node is now no longer in the list, and the CSV1 target is also showing as "Reconnecting".

On both machines, the CSV1 and witness targets from the non-upgraded show as "Connected".

I moved all roles and resources to the other node before upgrading as per the instructions. Have I missed a step?

Welcome to StarWind Forum! Please, check sync status in Windows-based console.
If they are showing some weird state, it's likely you've likely missed the hop.
1. Downgrade to 14398.
2. Stop the service.
3. For affected node, go to StarWind.cfg (C:\ProgramFiles\StarWind Software\StarWind\StarWind.cfg.
4. Copy the file.
5. Stop StarWindService.
6. Edit StarWind.cfg, so <devices> and <targets> section looks same as on the healthy node.
7. Start the service.

15020 is outdated, use the latest build.

Thank you for answer! I agree in the iSCSI
