4 Introduction This document shows how to configure StarWind Virtual SAN on 2 dedicated servers to provide fault tolerant shared storage to a client hypervisor cluster. A configuration with a dedicated SAN layer gives customers the ability to provide both block level and file level storage to the clients, resulting in a unified SAN/NAS solution which can be used for different applications and virtualization environments at the same time. It also allows users to configure StarWind Virtual SAN as a gateway to consolidate their heterogeneous storage environment into a single storage resource pool. Backend SANs can be a mix of different SANs from different vendors using different storage media like FC and iscsi. This guide is intended for experienced Windows system administrators and IT professionals who would like to configure a hyper-converged Scale-out File Server cluster using StarWind Virtual SAN to convert the local or iscsi attached storage of the cluster nodes into a fault tolerant shared storage resource to be then presented to the client servers using SMB3 file share protocol. A full set of up-to-date technical documentation can always be found here, or by pressing the Help button in the StarWind Management Console. For any technical inquiries please visit our online community, Frequently Asked Questions page, or use the support form to contact our technical support department. TECHNICAL PAPER 4

6 Before We Begin: Configuring SOFS Servers This document assumes that you have already configured Active Directory and added two servers to a domain. It also assumes that you have installed the Failover Clustering and Multipath I/O features. They can be installed using Server Manager (the Add Roles and Features option). On each SOFS node: 1. Install StarWind. 2. Open the StarWind configuration file. NOTE: The default path is C:\Program Files\StarWind Software\StarWind\StarWind.cfg 3. Find the string «<!--<iscsidiscoverylistinterfaces value=»1»/> -->» and uncomment it (should look as follows: <iscsidiscoverylistinterfaces value=»1»/>). 4. Restart StarWind Service and repeat the same procedure on the remaining StarWind nodes. Creating Highly Available Storage for the Failover Cluster This chapter will guide you through the process of creating highly available storage using StarWind Virtual SAN management console. 1. Select the StarWind server where you wish to create the device. 2. Press the Add Device (advanced) button on the toolbar. 3. Add Device Wizard will appear. Select Hard disk device and click Next. 4. Select Virtual disk and click Next. TECHNICAL PAPER 6

8 7. Define the caching policy and specify the cache size (in MB). Click Next. 8. Define the L2 caching policy and size if necessary. Click Next to continue. 9. Specify the destination directory for the L2 cache, if any. NOTE: It is strongly recommended to use SSD-based storage for L2 caching. TECHNICAL PAPER 8
9 10. Specify target parameters. Select the Target Name checkbox to enter a custom name of a target. Otherwise, the name will be generated automatically based on the target alias. Click Next to continue. 11. Click Create to add a new device and attach it to the target. Then click Finish to close the wizard. 12. Right-click on the device you just created and select Replication Manager. Replication Manager Window will appear. Press the Add Replica button. TECHNICAL PAPER 9
10 13. Select Synchronous two-way replication. Click Next to proceed. 14. Specify the partner server IP address. Default StarWind management port is If you have configured a different port, please type it in the Port number field. Click Next. TECHNICAL PAPER 10
11 15. Choose Create new Partner Device. Click Next. 16. On this screen you can select the synchronization and heartbeat channels for the HA device. You can also modify the ALUA settings and modify the target name of the device. Click Change network settings Specify the interfaces for synchronization and Heartbeat. TECHNICAL PAPER 11
12 Click OK. Then click Next. 18. Press the Create Replica button. Then click Finish to close the wizard. 19. The added device will appear in the StarWind Management Console. 20. Repeat the steps 3 20 for the remaining virtual disks that will be used as Cluster Shared Volumes. TECHNICAL PAPER 12
13 21. Once all devices are created the Management console should look as follows: NOTE: It is recommended to create at least one CSV volume per cluster node according to StarWind Virtual SAN best practices. TECHNICAL PAPER 13
14 Adding Discovery Portals This chapter illustrates how to connect the devices we created in the previous chapter, to the failover cluster nodes. 1. Launch Microsoft iscsi Initiator: Start > Administrative Tools > iscsi Initiator or iscsicpl from the command line interface. The iscsi Initiator Properties window appears. 2. Navigate to the Discovery tab. 3. Click the Discover Portal button. Discover Target Portal dialog appears. Type in Click the Advanced button.

15 4. Click the Discover Portal button again. 5. Discover Target Portal dialog appears. Type in the first IP address of the partner node you will use to connect the secondary mirrors of the HA devices. Click Advanced. TECHNICAL PAPER 15
16 6. Select Microsoft ISCSI Initiator as your Local adapter, select the Initiator IP in the same subnet as the IP address on the partner server from the previous step. Click OK. Then click OK again to complete the Target Portal discovery. 7. Click the Discover Portal button once again. 8. Discover Target Portal dialog appears. Discover Target Portal dialog appears. Type in the second IP address of the partner node you will use to connect the secondary mirrors of the HA devices. 9. Select Microsoft ISCSI Initiator as your Local adapter, select the Initiator IP in the same subnet as the IP address on the partner server from the previous step. Click OK. Then click OK again to complete the Target Portal discovery. TECHNICAL PAPER 16
17 10. All target portals added on the first node. 11. Complete the same steps for the second node. 12. All target portals added on the second node. TECHNICAL PAPER 17
18 Connecting Targets and Configuring Multipathing 1. Click the Targets tab. The previously created targets are listed in the Discovered Targets section. NOTE: If the created targets are not listed, check the firewall settings of the StarWind Server as well as the list of networks served by the StarWind Server (go to StarWind Management Console -> Configuration -> Network). 2. Select a target located on the local server and click Connect. TECHNICAL PAPER 18
19 3. Enable both checkboxes. Click Advanced 4. Select Microsoft iscsi Initiator from the Local adapter drop down menu. 5. In the Target portal IP select Click OK. TECHNICAL PAPER 19
20 6. Select the partner target from the other StarWind node and click Connect.. 7. Select Microsoft iscsi Initiator in the Local adapter text field. In the Initiator IP field select the IP address. In the Target portal IP select the corresponding portal IP from the same subnet. Click OK. 8. Select the same target like in step before and again click Connect. Press Advanced. 9. This time in target portal IP in dropdown list select another data channel IP addresses for initiator and target portal. TECHNICAL PAPER 20
21 Click OK, click OK again to connect to the target. 10. Repeat actions described in the steps above for other HA devices (CSV1, CSV2, and witness share). 11. Repeat steps 1-10 of this section on the second StarWind node, specifying corresponding local and data channel IP addresses. The result should look like on the screenshot below. 12. Once all targets are connected, launch the MPIO manager: Start > Administrative Tools > MPIO TECHNICAL PAPER 21
22 Or mpiocpl from the command line interface. MPIO manager window will appear. Go to the Discover Multi-Paths tab and enable the Add support for iscsi devices checkbox. Press the Add button. Restart the server to apply the changes. After the server is restarted, wait for the HA devices to resynchronize. Repeat step 12 on the second StarWind node once the synchronization is finished. 13. After both StarWind nodes are restarted and the MPIO support is enabled you have to configure the MPIO policy for each device specifying localhost ( ) as the active path. Select a target and click Devices 14. Devices dialog appears. TECHNICAL PAPER 22
23 Click MPIO. 15. Select Fail Over Only load balance policy and then designate the local path as active. 16. You can check that is the active path by selecting it from the list and clicking Details TECHNICAL PAPER 23
