HA Creation issue - Partner Not Ready - Server 2008 R2

[Martin Fluck]

Hi,

I am trying to configure HA on the latest release of the beta (20100408), I have read through the Hyper-V and High Availability Storage document and followed the steps to ensure I'm not doing anything wrong/in the wrong order etc.

I get no errors during the creation of the HA Target and the HA Target appears on both StarWind servers after the wizard completes however there is a yellow triangle on each Target and the server log shows :-

4/12 12:53:44.408 448 S: iqn.2008-08.com.starwindsoftware:starwind01-test-ha-01: 65536 session(s) allowed.
4/12 12:53:44.408 448 conf: Target [0x000000000F6B3B60] has been created. Device 'HAImage1' is accesible as target 'iqn.2008-08.com.starwindsoftware:starwind01-test-ha-01'.
4/12 12:53:47.095 448 HA: SscPort_ControlRequest: Event:Received Synchronize command (SynchType = 3)
4/12 12:53:47.095 448 HA: *** SscPort_ControlRequest: Partners is not READY, synchronization failed! (bIsPartnerReady = 0, bIsReadyFromPartner = 0)

Both StarWind servers have 3 networks defined under the network configuration as follows :-

10.1.80.2 -- 3260
192.168.1.89 -- 3260
127.0.0.1 -- 3260

and the management interface is still at the default :-

0.0.0.0 -- 3261

I can ping the servers from each other on both the 10.1 and 192.168 subnets and there is no firewall between the servers (they are VMs hosted on separate Hyper-V servers)

Am I missing something here? I have read through the forum posts where others have had the same issue however the fixes applied to them are not relevant in this case it would seem.

thanks,

Martin

Martin,

we need the full logs from both StarWind logs.
Could you please zip and send/upload them for us?
I'll send you upload link on e-mail.

The problem is solved by adding allow ACL rules for HA partners.
