Hi~ I`m a bit confused. Can I ask you what page are you refering to please? Page 29, first image, step 5 of 'Creating a Cluster'. The 'add all eligible storage to the cluster' box is checked. (from https://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwind-virtual-san-hyper-converged-2-nodes-scenario-2-nodes-with-h...

(either use OS built-in logical volume manager features or go for hardware RAID) Does this mean Windows 'Dynamic Disks' are OK, with their spanning/mirroring facilities? We have HP P420i hardware RAID, but they're quite limiting when it comes to expanding volumes. Using dynamic disks on top of the ...

The thread I referenced (dated 20th April) says:

"We have some issues related to L2 cache in Write-Back mode, thus, meanwhile we recommend using L2 cache in Wright-Through mode only. "

I restarted Virtual SAN, but the L2 cache is not appearing on the right. Using Windows Resource monitor it doesn't look as if any activity is happening to the cache ...

One problem I had when following that guide, is that right at the end, when creating the Windows failover cluster, in step 5 it shows "add all eligible storage to the cluster" as checked. When I did that, Windows decided to add ALL the drives to the cluster, so all the drives where the Vir...

I've seen that the 'requirements' for Virtual SAN say "Please note that the use of software based RAID arrays in the Virtual Virtual SAN environment is not supported.". What does this mean? Does it mean the cheap Fake-RAID controllers on some motherboards, or does it mean Windows 'RAID' (o...

We're just evaluating Virtual SAN and I've some uncertainties about how the L2 cache works. From what I understand it's quite different from Microsoft's tiered storage spaces. With tiered storage spaces, if I have a 600GB SAS HDD and a 500GB SSD, I'd have a 1.1TB disk with some stored in the SSD and...
