They have a more recent one: Īfter discovering portals and connecting each target on all three nodes, you should properly configure MPIO paths.
#STARWIND VIRTUAL SAN FREE HOW TO#
The detailed guide on how to connect each target can be found on their website.īy the way, the guide you have mentioned looks outdated. Targets on partner nodes 2 and 3 must be connected via corresponding iSCSI networks. Local targets must be connected through 127.0.0.1 (loopback). Then you will need to connect each target under "Targets" tab. Also, don't forget to enable MPIO in Add Roles and Features wizard.Īssuming you want to use the 10.0.0.x networks for iSCSI traffic, your ISCSI Initiator configuration should look like this:ġ0.0.0.130 (Initiator IP - local IP of ISCSI network between Node1 and Node2)ġ0.0.0.131 (Initiator IP - local IP of ISCSI network between Node1 and Node3) ISCSI networks leverage MPIO, there is no need for trunking, teaming, bonding, etc. Write-Host "Synchronizing: $($syncPercent)%" -foreground yellowįirst off, get rid of NIC teams for your storage and synchronization networks. $syncPercent = $device.GetPropertyValue("ha_synch_percent") $syncState = $device.GetPropertyValue("ha_synch_status") $device = Add-HADevice -server $server -firstNode $firstNode -secondNode $secondNode -thirdNode $thirdNode -initMethod "Clear" $thirdNode.ImagePath = "My computer\S\Storage" $secondNode.ImagePath = "My computer\S\Storage" $firstNode.ImagePath = "My computer\S\Storage" $server = New-SWServer -host 127.0.0.1 -port 3261 -user root -password starwind Here is the "CreateHA" config : Import-Module StarWindX I redid the installation of starwind to see if I made a mistake but the problem is still there. SyncHaDeviceAdvanced (check if they are synchronized, stuff to do if.

I tried it with only one path when I had the trial and it worked without this kind of problem so I know it's a misconfiguration somewhere but I cannot seem to find it. The other problem is if I continue and follow the Hyper-converged link, under "Multipath Configuration" it says to configure all devices for MPIO but my devices don't have any connections? I can configure two of my nodes to use the 10.0.0.0 adresses but not adresses 10.0.0.128 and the third node can use 10.0.0.128 but not 10.0.0.0 One of my problems is that I cannot add more then one path to the target. I have 2 devices (Storage and witness) on 3 nodes, all my targets were created with Starwind's scripts and I was able to figure out they were synchronized.

I tested my environment during the 30 day trial and really liked it but now I want to make it work with the free version.
