On node-01 everything seems to be good

but on the node-02 I have heartbeat problem

What's wrong ? I use free version

Hi,

Try pinging the IP in question from the 01.

I can ping from 01 to 02 and from 02 to 01 on all networks

Posted: **Thu Jan 06, 2022 1:53 pm**

192.168.230.2 is located on 192.168.110.2. Try pinging 192.168.110.2 from 192.168.110.3.

Posted: **Thu Jan 06, 2022 2:08 pm**

Yes, 192.168.230.2 and 192.168.110.2 are on the same server (01)

Ping is working as I said. Below from 02 to 01

Posted: **Thu Jan 06, 2022 2:32 pm**

1. Do you have the IP address in question listed among the networks on 01? In StarWind Management Console, go to Networks tab.
2. Do you have iSCSI File Server role installed?
3. Try removing the HB interface and re-adding it back. You can modify the respective _HA.swdsk while the service is stopped.

Posted: **Thu Jan 06, 2022 3:04 pm**

Hey, found the problem.

Now everything is working fine

Thanks

Posted: **Thu Jan 06, 2022 3:27 pm**

Glad to know that everything is operational now. Thank you!

Could you tell me how can I add next HAImages on the same target ? I mean next HA image with different lun on the same target ?

Now I trying to set second image, it's look like this, but when the syncro was finished it start it again..

First I use this code

It's look like this, but as I said the synchronizing working all the time

Posted: **Sat Jan 08, 2022 1:27 pm**

It is not recommended to add the HA image to the same target.
Each HA needs its own target.

Posted: **Sat Jan 08, 2022 1:45 pm**

Ok, understood. Have another question about synchronization. It's take so long on 30GB disk and 10Gb link. In performance I cannot see any traffic, whats the problem ?

Posted: **Sat Jan 08, 2022 8:37 pm**

Synchronization speed is not only about the network but the storage configuration. What is the underlying storage configuration?

Posted: **Sat Jan 08, 2022 9:10 pm**

RAID 10 on 4xSSD Samsung 870 EVO 1TB. HP 380 G9 with P840 raid controller
Servers are connected directly with 3 networks 10 GB each.
Iperf show about 9.5 Gbps

Posted: **Sat Jan 08, 2022 11:42 pm**

Are they dedicated connections or used for anything else?
