I'm trying to setup and configure the Starwind vSAN on an ESXi cluster following this technical whitepaper.
http://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwin ... re-vsphere
My goal is to utilize the local storage that is on my ESXi hosts in a 2 node cluster, along with my physical 2 node Starwind HA SANs. I am, for the most part, setting up the environment exactly as described in the document with the exception of a few IP addresses.
I had an existing HA infrastructure that I was taking offline, so I figured it would be a good testing bed to give this a try. I attached a quick rough diagram of the setup (allot is going on). I also attached the networking setup of one of the ESXi hosts.
Everything appears to function as it should, until I get to page 33 of the PDF with adding my dynamic IPs and scanning for the storage. I add the first Starwind node (SW1) from the virtual local network of 172.16.127.11. I add another IP address of the second Starwind node (SW2) from networks SYNC1 and SYNC2 (172.16.210.125, 172.16.211.125). I click OK, and rescan but my Starwind devices on my virtual starwind adapters do not appear.
Any clue as to what I'm missing? Or is this an unsupported config?
Another thing I noticed as I was troubleshooting - is that in Starwind v8 under Tools there is a Deploy VSAN option. Should I be using that instead?
