I need to give this another go. They give some good PowerShell examples on building and monitoring a setup. At the time I tested it, there weren't any PS commands available for modifying anything. To make a change you had to wipe it & start fro scratch again... :-S

@travisdh1 Yes, PFC for switch and RDMA support for Ethernet

So, yes, it does require a few things, but things that should be available already. Great!

@oksana Still backups are needed 🙂

@dafyre Exactly 🙂 That is the reason why this feature was created

No public pricing means they try to squeeze out as much as possible on a per-customer basis. I'm guessing heavy commission based sales.

That's unfortunate.

GroveMarketPlace is reselling StarWind we can get you pricing. Just email me [email protected]

No MSRP without contacting someone means no business from me.

As for Homelab 3 node scenario, you could choose either 3-way or 2-way replication.
3-Way replication means you have 3 copies of the data across all three hosts. 2-way replication in 3 node cluster means that:
target1 is on Node1 & Node2
target2 is on Node2 & Node3
target3 is on Node3 & Node1

And there is no need to partition the drive. We'll place a container file and mirror them across nodes.

That's a very good post that covers information people don't often think about after deploying vCenter. Additionally, it's something helpful when studying for the VCP-DCV. Thanks for sharing!

Oh should have I posted my reply on SW instead?

He sees it here, too.
