Hello

I'm trying to configure starwind virtual san free for the first time. I downloaded the template with the virtual machine, configured everything and accessed the configuration via web. The virtual machine has passthrough configured to manage the disks directly from starwind (the controller is H730P mini in HBA mode).

In the "physical disks" section all the individual drives appear, I selected 6 and formatted them. Then, in "storage pools" I selected 1 disk in the "physical disks" section but after selecting it, it doesn't let me include more disks, the message "starwind issues this disk has a different media or bus type size or is attached to a different storage controller" appears.

The disks are all the same, same brand, model and capacity.

Regards

Try wiping them all before creating a pool and try going through the wizard again.

that's what I did before trying to create the pool. Select the disks, wipe and then try to create the pool. I had to do it this way because otherwise the disks would not appear in the list to create the pool
