Hello,

Two Windows 2019 starwind hosts allow me to run a 2 Node HA device for vsphere. I turned down networking on the main in order to replicate a server or network outage. The device failed over to the second node successfully, didn't skip a beat, but upon restoring the main the nodes dont synchronize thus the secondary node remains active and I cannot fail back to the primary.
"failed: connection with partner node invalid."
There are just logs pertaining to the HA device losting communication with the primary and failing over. Although HA device notes missed heartbeat, network connectivity between the main and secondary host is present (able to ping).

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to StarWind Forum.
Could you please let me know what you mean by fail back?
StarWind features Active-Active Replication only. You can see more on the device priorities in the context of HA devices here viewtopic.php?t=5731
Try restarting the StarWindService (if you run it as a Linux VM, starvind-virtual-san-service) on the not-synchronized node.
