Two nodes HA GUI vs Powershell

[artidens]

This is driving me crazy. If I create an HA device with Powershell using the two nodes HA script provided in the samples directory, it will be shown as two separate disks in my vSphere. But if I create a similar HA device using the GUI, it is shown correctly as just one disk so I can configure multipathing etc. What might be causing this?

Also, I have two nodes and for some reason node1 trial license has already expired, so I cannot manage it with the GUI. Installed Starwind VSAN Free on both nodes today.

Unfortunately, the latest build is confirmed to have an issue with the StarWindX functionality in terms of creating more than one HA device from PowerShell. The R&D team has already fixed this issue and the fix will be published as a part of the next build released.

Hi,

I have encountered this nasty issue - its easily fixed once you know where the problem is. The key is to specify the same device id for both nodes, this has to be forced explicitly:

eg.
$firstNode.SerialID = "050176c0b535403ba3ce02102e33eac"
$secondNode.SerialID = "050176c0b535403ba3ce02102e33eac"

In the script this is missing..

Let me know if it worked for you

This may do the trick until the official release.
