Hello all,
We're looking to move to shared storage and StarWind has really stuck out for us. We do a lot of build-your-own solutions and this software looks to be a great accompaniment to our hardware. I do have a few questions about it, however.
Does it support live replication and failover clustering included in Hyper-V Server 2012? Can I connect multiple Hyper-V hosts to one disk? Is it manageable via System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 SP1? Will it be in the future?
What we currently have is 16 2TB 7.2k SATA 6GBps disk in RAID 6. They're on a Ubuntu Server host sectioned into 3 LVMs of approximately 4.5TB each. iSCSI Target is used to host the LVMs and each VM host has to connect to its specified target via Microsoft iSCSI Initiator. If I try to connect to another LVM I'm forced to format the disk before I can use it. Ultimately what I hope to have is 3 hosts using pooled storage that can be assigned from SCVMM with live replication and failover clustering. Is this something StarWind can do?
Thanks,
