Re: Starwind vSAN Free on CVM (2 Node HA)

Please use the script from my post above; I think it will be faster just re-ip my script and change the file location.

Re: Starwind vSAN Free on CVM (2 Node HA)

Hi, Welcome to StarWind Forum. 1. Use the Windows-based VSAN (https://www.starwindsoftware.com/tmplink/starwind-v8.exe), unless you need the software RAID feature or you are after NVMe-oF. 2. Check this out https://forums.starwindsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?t=6852&p=37208&hilit=HINT8. From wh...

Re: Limited to 8 LUNs?

You are welcome. Sorry for missing the spot for the first two times :D This parameter requires the system to lock more resources to the initiator to be ready to serve more connections. That's why we picked the minimum value. I don't think the cap of 24 LUNs per target will break anything (we set it ...

Re: ZFS 2.3.0 deduplication and nvme benefits available?

NVMe-oF is the protocol, you are right.
To maximize performance, NVMe-oF-connected devices are put on RAW, unformatted disks.
p.s. Join our public NVMe-oF target beta (submit your request here https://www.starwindsoftware.com/support-form).

Check also here.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\StarNVMeoF\Parameters (the older place for the registry)
Please try disconnecting all the paths and reconnect too.

Create the REG DWORD MaxNamespaces under 0003.

Re: ZFS 2.3.0 deduplication and nvme benefits available?

For now, VSAN runs an older ZFS version that hasn't been updated for a while, as we are more focused on newer NVMe-oF solutions. We plan to update to the latest ZFS on Linux later this year, Q2-Q3.

Re: Limited to 8 LUNs?

On the initiator host, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e97b-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}
expand something that "can be expanded" e.g., 0004 directory. Check MaxNamespaces value (set to something between 1 and 255).
Reboot, and try over again.

Re: Synchronisation Fail Issue

Hi, Thanks. I have forwarded your input to the R&D team. There's nothing extraordinary about the live conversion. StarWind V2V can convert the VMs live. it makes only one snapshot and merges it at the end. To be more specific, it creates 2 snapshots, one before conversion and another before sync...

Re: Is it ok to run yum or windows updates on VSAN installs?

Welcome to StarWind Forum. You can update the Hypervisor that hosts StarWind VSAN/CVM. However, running yum updates or apt update && apt upgrade is not recommended. p.s. CentOS 7 is EOL and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is EOL soon too. Please keep an eye on the release notes; the migration process is on...
