Re: Slower performance on primary node

After a great call support fixed the performance issue we had with our Trial Cluster. We accidentally added the Cluster-Role IP on sync 192.168.0.10 instead of 172.16.32.10. I believe i accidentally clicked that one in the gui because of the 10 at the end. I also showed him the powershell script tha...

Re: Slower performance on primary node

We get the same performance anomaly on the trial version. We had all this happen on vsan free and trial, with multiple systems, with different configurations and setup by two technicians. I talked to our contact at starwind, he will get us in contact with a technician next week. I will update you if...

Re: Slower performance on primary node

Just used a starwind vsan trial to setup the two server again using the gui. On that one i can change the mpio policies without getting any errors. If i use this powershell script to setup the devices i get the same errors I copied the script from the fresh installation using the new file i got from...

Re: Slower performance on primary node

Another small questions. Right now we are using the same license file for our testing environment that we used to license our production system. Can this reinstalling and reusing the key multiple times cause our production system to get licensing issues? I don't even know if the license can gets rev...

Re: Slower performance on primary node

We installed Server 2022 Standard with Desktop and core multiple times on multiple systems and we also tested server 2019. But i can guarantee that we get an error choosing that policy and pressing apply or ok at the iscsicpl menu. https://youtu.be/azGPzOXRPRE?t=1488 https://doccomputer-my.sharepoin...

Re: Slower performance on primary node

Just want to give an update. I got two different server for testing. We believe the issue we are running into might be a faulty mpio configuration. We selected starwind-vsan service and the loopback driver while installing. 1. To setup mpio we installed the mpio feature. 2. Set in starwind.cfg <iScs...

Re: Slower performance on primary node

Hi again, we tested mostly by copying a single big file to the cluster-volume, thats where we noticed it first. One test vhdx took ~1:30 seconds on node-1 compared to ~35 seconds on node-2. If i run crystaldiskmark in a vm i see a similar picture, no matter if its on our nvme array or a sata array. ...

Slower performance on primary node

Hi, we setup starwind vsan free in our lab. We set up two server 2022, installed starwind vsan free onto them and setup a failovercluster. Everything works really well except some performance anomaly we cant nail down. We noticed having reduced performance on the primary node accessing the csvfs. Wr...
