Hi there,

We are running a 2-node HA StarWind setup, with the latest v6 version. Each node has 2 or 3 RAID logical drives. Sadly, one of the logical drives on Node 1 has irreparably broken due to a disk failure.

Because we're running HA, we're still fine as the images are being served successfully from Node 2.

We've now rebuilt the failed logical drive on Node 1 (as a new blank volume), and would like the HA to re-copy/re-sync to it. How can we go about doing this?

Many thanks

Hello,
Basically you need to begin full synchronization from the node 2

Here are the steps to synchronize your HA:
- Right click on the device(Node2), click “Mark As Synchronized”
- Right click on the device (Node 2), click “Manage nodes” and “Remove Partner“
- Click “Add New Partner” and add the node 1
- Create HA targets on the node 1, start synchronization from the node 2
- Wait until the end of the synchronization
