Yes, the current version of starwind is not in HCL of current version of VMware unfortunatelly, but bellieve me, in our test lab it has passed all the performace and stress tests and also we have a lot of users that are running in this config without issues. It should definitely be fixed with new version.

About your issue, would you be so kind provide us with your topology and answer 1 question: besides starwind is not in HCL, has VMware gave you some other comments on this?
