Скачать или смотреть How to create 3 Node Hyper-V Cluster with StarWind Virtual SAN | Step-by-Step Guide

In this video, we will perform a complete installation and configuration of a 3 Node Hyper-V Cluster with StarWind Virtual SAN in a lab environment.

We will use:
Hyper-V
StarWind Virtual SAN
Windows Server 2025

This step-by-step guide will help you understand how to build a high availability (HA) infrastructure without using expensive physical SAN storage.

✔ Network planning and best practices
✔ Installing Hyper-V role
✔ Installing and configuring StarWind Virtual SAN
✔ Creating replicated storage
✔ Configuring iSCSI targets
✔ Creating Failover Cluster
✔ Adding shared storage to cluster
✔ Creating CSV (Cluster Shared Volume)
✔ Testing VM high availability
✔ Node failure simulation

🏗️ Lab Architecture Overview
3 Hyper-V Nodes
StarWind VSAN installed
iSCSI storage replication between nodes
Failover Clustering enabled
Shared storage presented as Cluster Shared Volume

This design provides:
Storage redundancy
Node-level fault tolerance
VM automatic failover
Enterprise-style high availability

💼 Real-World Use Case
In many small and mid-size organizations, deploying a physical SAN can be expensive. Using StarWind Virtual SAN, companies can convert local disks into shared replicated storage, allowing:

Cost-effective HA setup
No need for external SAN
Improved business continuity
Easy scalability
This setup is ideal for:
Production environments
DR labs
Enterprise testing
Home lab learning

🎯 Why Use StarWind VSAN?
Software-defined storage
Real-time replication
Works with Hyper-V Failover Cluster
Eliminates single point of failure
Enterprise-grade performance
