StarWind Software

I performed an upgrade of my homelab wich has a one node starwind vsan.
First I upgraded the starwind managment console on my pc, and then I upgraded the SAN.

The upgrade went OK, just a next, next finish install.
It restarted the servicec and the 2 LSFS devices I had with 70GB and 9GB L1 cache and dedup got remounted.
I created 2 new devices and did a storage migration in vcenter from the old volumes to the new ones. Takes some time
Deleted the old volumes.

I register that the new volumes is placed in folders so its easier to detect them in the filemanager when looking on the disk that holds the starwind volumes.
The mangment console also have a defragmentation option.

So far I havn't had any problem with the new verision

I tried the VSA installer but on my esxi6.0U1 it didn't work it said I need a esx of version 5.1 or greater ( 6.0U1 is greater than 5.1)

Hi, Hste.

Do you have HA LSFS devices or standalone ones?

VSA installer (and OVF template) never worked for me. Always did the things manually.

Hi darklight

I only run a one node setup so no HA

Ok, gotcha.

Basically, I did not have any troubles with standalone LSFS almost for a year already.

LSFS (both standalone and HA) is proven to be stable and ready for production. Enjoy!
