    Thanks for the update Todd.

    My conversation with LSI ended when they told me I should replace my SSDs with ones on their approved hardware list. Frankly I've not found their first line support...

    Hi Todd,

    I can reproduce this. Roll back to the 23.12.0.0013 firmware and all is ok. If I move to the 23.16.0-0018 firmware the corruption starts happening again.

    Hi Darko,

    Are you saying that you could failover an ISCSI volume hosting a Hyper-V CSV from one DSS v6 box to another without problems? My experience is that this caused blue screens with v6, so...

    I've been running some tests with Server 2012 RTM Hyper-V and DSS7. Unfortunately whatever the alleged improvements for failover tolerance in Windows are, I'm still seeing blue screens on the guests...

    So it sounds like DSS doesn't use system RAM for read caching in the way that ZFS does for example. The problem with depending on RAID controller cache is these are usually quite small, 1GB or less...

  10. ISCSI failover support for Hyper-V Cluster?

    Hi,

    Currently a failover of an ISCSI volume hosting a Hyper-V Cluster Shared Volume will tend to cause the host VMs to blue-screen. This apparently is due to the ISCSI-3 persistent reservation...
