Hi

I have followed the following link: http://www.starwindsoftware.com/images/ ... ervers.pdf steps in creating a High Availability Device. I have successfully followed the steps in the document up to page 18. I do not want to create a failover cluster, but only require a HA device that will synchronise whatever is on the one disc with the other. Unfortunately if I copy lets say a Word file on the Generic disk R on server S2N1 it is not automatically synchronised to the disk Generic R on S2N2. Is that normal?
As I understand it, the disks are in sync and whatever is copied to one should be replicated to the other. As mentioned, I am only interested in the HA part, not really in the Failover Clustering.

Thanks
Regards

Johan

Did you mount the same iSCSI volume on both nodes and expecting the content being accessible by both @ the same time?

Hi Anton,

Yes, that is wht I meant.

You cannot do this. See:

Making long story short either put content on a CSV so one node will have block access and others will have redirected (thru SMB) access or
configure a failover cluster for SMB share on top of an HA volume. That would make the trick done. See:

Should be handy!
