StarWind Software

hi. in 2 node vsan esx cluster, when i change management password on two nodes after installation i get nodes blacklists each others.
so sync fails.

what was i do wrong?

Hi,

Welcome to StarWind Forum! Please let me know where you change the password.

with legacy management console

It looks like you have a GUI-enabled version. Are you trialing the product? If so, please reach out to support@starwind.com.
It is strange that the synchronization process fails. Does the issue happen straight away after you set the password, and devices say "not synchronized" in the legacy console too?
Web UI is not working well with the Management Console password updated. Please consider using the legacy one instead for now. We are going to address this issue in the builds to come.

yes trial.

forget the second node and sync
i did clean install first node and changed root password from legacy gui and i get this right away

when i change password to "starwind" no blocking messages.

and snipet of logs

Hi,

The log is not sufficient. Can you pull the entire support bundle?
Please also reach out to support@starwind.com: Trial users still get support Use 1218400 and this thread as your references.
Are you concerned about blocking notifications? This is a known issue, but it never affects synchronization.
I do not see it affecting synchronization or the server either.

hi again. i am trial ing again after new releases to hope fix management password problem.

my previous problem that failing sync after change password is not happening (most likely i have done something other than change password to affect sync in the previous try)


but annoying connection blocked on legacy client is continue in latest release

also webgui says sync failing after change password but it is not. and luns state goes to limited availability. if i go legacy client everything is fine.

after all i want to change well known root password to change something else.

how can i do that without sacrifice at least web gui's alerts about losing sync

i cant believe starwind vsan users use this software with default password

Management password is a pain for logging in and WEB UI. Not for sync.
Wait for the next build (there should be NVMe-oF too) for the Management auth improvements.
