Force removal

We are trying to recreate some HA targets. When we try to remove the targets it says they are busy. There are no connections to the targets is it ok to force removal? Running version 5.8.

Failed to create empty document.

One of our HA nodes rebooted over the holidays, not sure why yet, but everything has come back up and I was able to resync using the second node. When I try to open the Starwind console on the primary I get an error box with "Failed to create empty document." and the console will not open.

Re: High Availability problem

There are A LOT of solutions as there are A LOT of sources leading to this problem. For example - there's no routing to second HA node so we cannot sync. Please provide the logs so we could say for sure what's wrong. And what to do and how to proceed from this point. Thanks! Thanks, I sent logs in ...

Re: High Availability problem

Hi. I was trying to test HA feature of StarWind product. I was able to go through the wizard of Add Target till the end, and the 2 targets was created successfully on both servers, but I am getting a red icon for the device name.

Re: Supermicro recommendation

All in all it is a nice chassis. It uses the spring loaded thumb screws like HP uses and it only has four of them, two on the back one for lid and another for riser assembly, two inside on riser assembly and 2.5 inch mount. Everything fits together well. The cables for internal drives are just long ...

Re: Supermicro recommendation

I am hoping mine will be here in the next few minutes. I will post back about the cable in the chassis.

Its here!!!! The One into four cable looks like what you'll need.

Re: Supermicro recommendation

We're looking at the same Intel chassis and I was curious why you chose the more expensive RAID card for the first cabinet. I'm considering the cheaper AXXROMBSASMR module and the AXXRSBBU3 battery module. I believe this part is based on the LSI 1078 chip, and from what I've read, it's a strong con...

Re: Supermicro recommendation

Configure StarWind to use RAM as write-back cache. It's going to be better then using on-board memory. Configure StarWind to run in HA configuration. It's going to be better (distributed cache) then battery backup WB cache on controller. We are doing an HA configuration. But, to be clear, if setup ...

Re: Supermicro recommendation

Yeah we are going to go with the Intel config. The RAID controller I am still researching. I am not 100% sure it will work and the card is not on Intel's compatibility list and the chassis is not on Adaptec's list, although I have sent Adaptec an email to see what they say. I'm pretty sure it would ...

Supermicro recommendation

I am getting a parts list together for a Starwind HA configuration. I am looking at using a Supermicro SC826 series chassis with 12 2TB WD SATA drives. Drives could change though in final configuration, I may do a mix of SATA and SAS drives. I am interested to hear from those that are using Supermic...
