Welcome to StarWind forum. Here is the technical paper https://www.starwindsoftware.com/resour ... r-vsphere/ on how to set up Linux-based edition of StarWind VSAN. While installing StarWind Management Console, please install the PowerShell Management Library (there should be an option in StarWind VSAN installation wizard) to be able to manage your Linux environment with PowerShell. Please use the IP of StarWind VSAN VM in scripts instead of 127.0.0.1 to run them.
On Windows box, While installing Management Console, you need to select ONLY StarWind Management Console and PowerShell Management Library.
In Management Console, you should connect to the servers first. Please check the guide I shared with you above.
Are you up for a compute-and-storage-separated setup or just standalone StarWind disks?For first scenario I don't need HA and it will be a separate storage only deployment

Could you please elaborate on what exactly is failing for thin client deployment?
See this guide https://www.starwindsoftware.com/resour ... rver-2016/. Go to the Fileshare for General use section.If you can recommend an easy way to cover HA NAS scenario with virtual SA (Linux), I would really appreciate it.
As per StarWind VSAN system requirements, software RAIDs but MDADM or Microsoft Storage Spaces is not supported (https://www.starwindsoftware.com/system-requirements). You can also connect disks in the pass-through mode.Also do I understand correctly and the only option to deploy virtual SA based on nvme storage with n+1 or n+2 redundancy would be a LVM and/or software raid.
Apologies if I was not specific. My question is about Virtual Storage Appliance Linux edition.yaroslav (staff) wrote:See this guide https://www.starwindsoftware.com/resour ... rver-2016/.

Windows VM with Management Console is what I'm using at the moment.yaroslav (staff) wrote:As per StarWind VSAN system requirements, software RAIDs but MDADM or Microsoft Storage Spaces is not supported (https://www.starwindsoftware.com/system-requirements).

Instead of web-based management, you can use a Windows box where Management Console is running.
