Migrate from Windows binary to CVM

Hi. I'm running a Hyper-V 2019 2-node-cluster using the VSAN free Windows binary directly on the host and I'm not really happy with the network performance. This is due to Microsoft really messed up the implementation of the network stack in 2019. There are a couple of very good explanations on this...

NIC metric

Hi. I run a Windows Server 2019 test cluster with 2 nodes. For StarWind ISCSI I reserved one 10G and one 1GB line via 2 different switches. When I sync a test volume, the 1GB line is loaded to 100% but the 10G line is only used around 500Mbit. I changed the interface metric to favor the 10G but with...
