Hi all,
I'm trying to setup Virtual SAN free using the SMB witness failover strategy.
I Have a setup of 2 Hyper-V servers. Each server has a CVM appliance. I have used the following script to create the LUN based on the SMB witness failover strategy.
Small sumary:
LAN (management) network = 172.27.112.0/24
SYNC (replication) network = 10.1.1.0/24
ISCSI (data) network = 10.2.2.0/24
param($addr="172.27.112.98", $port=3261, $user="root", $password="starwind",
$addr2="172.27.112.99", $port2=$port, $user2=$user, $password2=$password,
#common
$initMethod="Clear",
$size=1024,
$sectorSize=4096,
$bmpType=1,
$bmpStrategy=0,
$smbWitnessFilePath="\\172.27.112.92\witness\witness.dat",
$smbWitnessUsername="172.27.112.92\witness",
$smbWitnessPassword="********",
#primary node
$imagePath="VSA Storage/mnt/md0/clusterStorage",
$imageName="ClusterStorageImage1",
[bool][ValidateSet($false, $true)]
$createImage=$true,
$storageName="",
$targetAlias="ClusterStorageTarget1",
$poolName="pool1",
$syncSessionCount=1,
[bool][ValidateSet($false, $true)]
$aluaOptimized=$true,
$cacheMode="none",
$cacheSize=0,
$syncInterface="#p2=10.1.1.9:3260" -f $addr2,
$bmpFolderPath="",
[bool][ValidateSet($false, $true)]
$createTarget=$true,
#secondary node
$imagePath2="VSA Storage/mnt/md0/clusterStorage",
$imageName2="ClusterStorageImage1",
[bool][ValidateSet($false, $true)]
$createImage2=$true,
$storageName2="",
$targetAlias2="ClusterStorageTarget1",
$poolName2="pool1",
$syncSessionCount2=1,
[bool][ValidateSet($false, $true)]
$aluaOptimized2=$true,
$cacheMode2=$cacheMode,
$cacheSize2=$cacheSize,
$syncInterface2="#p1=10.1.1.8:3260" -f $addr,
$bmpFolderPath2="",
[bool][ValidateSet($false, $true)]
$createTarget2=$true
)

$device = Add-HADevice -server $server -firstNode $firstNode -secondNode $secondNode -initMethod $initMethod
while ($device.SyncStatus -ne [SwHaSyncStatus]::SW_HA_SYNC_STATUS_SYNC)
{
$syncPercent = $device.GetPropertyValue("ha_synch_percent")
Write-Host "Synchronizing: $($syncPercent)%" -foreground yellow
Start-Sleep -m 2000
$device.Refresh()
}
}
catch
{
Write-Host $_ -foreground red
}
finally
{
$server.Disconnect()
}
Unfortunately I see the LUN only shows the status "Limited availability". Also see the following message on both appliances: "The replication partner is not synchronised".
When I look at the SMB witness share I see the file has been created and when opnening the file it has the follwing inside:
reserved=no
owner=
pulse=0
Can anyone help me with this mistery?
