Welcome to StarWind Forum.
StarWind VSAN features active-active storage replication. It means that both replication partners, if synchronized, carry the same data set.
You can connect the storage over iSCSI to the ESXi hosts, and use these volumes as the underlying storage for StarWind.
The problem is though you are building up iSCSI-connected storage over iSCSI-connected storage. As a result, the setup is very network-dependent. Whatever affects the network stack affects StarWind VSAN too. It also introduces setup handling complexities.
Due to overheads, we also generally do not recommend LACP teaming to connect StarWind HA devices or replication. If you need redundancy, simply use separate links.
Network-wise, please check StarWind VSAN System requirements https://www.starwindsoftware.com/system-requirements and Best Practices https://www.starwindsoftware.com/best-p ... practices/
The best will be booking a demo with one of our techs https://www.starwindsoftware.com/v17-request-live-demo. You can learn more about concepts and ask technical questions during the call.
