Hi All, We are making progress. Appears there are some DCOM services that are blocked by the windows firewall by default. Enabled the predefined rule and whilst I still cannot do a move between hosts (I think this is my error of understanding how this works), I can have a 2003 server running as a vm...

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. (Holiday in New Zealand) We are trying to use the direct attached storage in the 2 servers, hence the Native SAN choice. If we are to use the iSCSI don't we need a third server to act as the SAN? I can do this if required, but it gets really messy with the...

Ok, Tried a live migration and it seems I have something wrong. The first page of the attched images came up on the source machine... page1.JPG The second is the error on the destination machine. page2.JPG The only error I seem to have when I validate the cluster is a DNS issue of some kind, is this...

Ok I am winning the war, after several battles (due to lack of knowledge as I am an absolute greeny when it comes to this), I now have a functioning Hyper-V Native SAN with a virtual machine on it. Now to start to play with live migration and backups etc, break things and repair them by taking macin...

Great stuff thanks.
I will start from scratch I think to remove any possibility there are settings left over from the previous attempts to get this working.
I will keep you up to date with progress.
Cheers

Hi, I have taken the steps to correct the NIC configuration I had so they are all seperate and I can get the drives nicely synchronized. Great we are making progress !!! Next step. Please keep in mind I am running server 2012..... I am having difficulty getting the quorum and my VHD storage drives t...

Great and thanks for the heads up on the nic teaming. I will remove it and study the RR document.

After rebooting BOTH servers I achieved a near 1Gb throughput with the teamed nics when syncing. Can we get better performance with the 4x nics teamed or would it be better to team 2 pairs and have the sync down one pair and the heartbeat down the other?

Hi, I am trialing the StarWind Native Save for Hyper-V on server 2012. I have the following hardware in the servers... 4 x 1Gb NIC on PCI card. 2 x 1Gb NIC built into the server chassis. 2 x 8Gb fiber channel HBA storage adapters (no SAN to connect them to though) 2 x 3.0Ghz Xeon QC CPU 48Gb RAM 1Tb...

Just a side note, thinking back on the process, I may have tried to use the original license key file that I downloaded ages ago, which of course has naturally expired. Resetting the server date to the time of the original download fixed the issue, but of course I wanto the have the correct date on ...

Hi, I have installed the StarWind software on a server - did not install the license file at the time (a couple of days ago). This server has been renamed and is now also a domain controller. When I went to install the license file I noted it was trying to connect to the old server name. I removed t...
