HA Devices not syncing

Hi,

I setup Starwind Free with two nodes. This worked fine untill I restarted one node. I noticed that DNS wasn`t working anymore so both nodes couldnt reach eachother.
All VM`s automatically live migrated to node 2. Once I restarted node 1, all vm`s went into saved - critical state and all csv`s including the witness went offline.

After I fixed DNS and disabled all firewall`s, the witness disk came back online. My two data volumes didn`t came back online. I dont see any network activity on the replication network interface.

This is my log from node 2

Hello, jortie. Could you please answer few more questions to clarify the issue:
Can you ping the partner node through Synchronization channel?
Check the status of StarWind devices with GetHASyncState.ps1 script, by default located in C:\Program Files\StarWind Software\StarWind\StarWindX\Samples\powershell
Do you use direct cross-link switchless connection between nodes (synchronization network interface)?
Do your servers get IP addresses over DHCP or are IP addresses set statically?
