I have a 2 node cluster using Starwind vSAN Free to provide the CSV. Its been in and working largely without problem since 2018 - version 8.0.0.12585
I have a short maintenance window so I have started the upgrade process.
1. Migrated all roles to one node
2. Wait for Syncronisation to be complete (the cluster was quiescent for 4 days - no users at all, just background processes so not much data written to the csv at all)
3. Installed the new Startwind v8.0.0.<latest> on quiet node.
OK so this is where things go a little unexpected...
1. Installation process completes as expected.
2. Starwind console no longer works in read only mode (as it did previously; I am aware that I have the free license... the console used to work in RO mode after the 30 days) so getting status of the HA volumes is slightly more tricky (Powershell)
3. When I get the status of the Starwind HA volume it is worryingly unpopulated...

I don't want to break anything any further - so I haven't rebooted the node (I know that the windows standard response to a problem doesn't help in this instance).
I do have recent backups of the SW configuratuion files (it will take a while to get hold of them) and of course the other node is up anyway.
Everything is untouched.
Can anyone lend a hand?
