StoreVirtual has been great. We haven't had a failure in all the years I have run it, and we went through a reconfiguration about three months ago to add some solid state drives to improve the performance, and it works fantastic.
View full review »HPE StoreVirtual is quite stable, except for the login issues, but only if you have at least 2 nodes. Built-in redundancy for Network RAID-10 mode is very stable.
View full review »Latency is one of the things that our vROPs all the time, complains about the latency for that environment. We don't have good visibility to find out what's really causing it, what's underneath the problem. That's kind of been a sticking point that we're going to look into, but definitely vROPs are always complaining about latency from the StoreVirtual LUNs.
View full review »We had a few legal issues at the start, but we got the issues ironed out and the systems now run themselves.

This solution is very stable.
View full review »Stability is excellent.
View full review »We have had no issues with the stability.
View full review »Stability can become an issue if you are planning on deploying a multi-site cluster – you need to ensure you have the appropriate links between each data center to allow the storage to replicate.
View full review »It’s been very stable. We've had no issues with instability.
View full review »Stability has been good except in one scenario. We had a vSphere Metro-Cluster with HP P4000 Multisite setup, and the coordinating node (VIP holder) completely crashed in a bad way. It seems that the coordinating node was not able to transfer the VIP to a new node in time and when vSphere recognized it as a PDL event (Permanent Device Loss), we were operational within eight minutes after vSphere rescanned for storage, although the storage node motherboard and controller had to be replaced.

The stability is okay. We haven't heard of clients having issues with crashes, bugs, or glitches.
View full review »I haven't had problems with it.
View full review »We had some stability issues in the beginning. They were easily resolved by dedicating a NIC for symmetric replication.
View full review »There were no issues with the stability.
View full review »The stability has been exceptional.
View full review »Outside of the one incident on the StoreVirtual where we lost the system board which was a little tough. If the guy who came out to replace it knew what he was doing and put the right firmware on, then we wouldn't have lost any virtual servers. But beyond that, the other ones have been very good and we've been really happy there.
View full review »The system is functional and always up, even if several nodes need rebooting when an upgrade takes place.
View full review »There are stability issues, but I'm happy with the support. No technology is error free, that's why HP has support.
View full review »It's stable for how we use it.

It appears to be very stable and very robust.
View full review »In terms of stability, the optional MEM (Multipath Enhancement Module) was unstable in one installation with 1GB iSCSI network. Long running, intensive file copying tasks between VMs produced a storage latency "explosion". The issue disappeared immediately after removing the MEM drivers from the ESXi hosts and restoring the default vSphere Path Selection Policies. We did not have an opportunity to review the environment or test an updated MEM.

It's very stable and I don't remember the last time that it was unavailable. We have the occasional disk failure, but that doesn't stop it from working.

The solution is stable. Whatever implementation we've done, we've been very satisfied with the solution and haven't experienced any bugs or glitches.
View full review »There was an issue with one CPU overheating and causing fans to rev up. The CPU had to be reseated and firmware updates applied.
View full review »Things like a hard power off can cause OS corruption and booting issues. This isn’t too much of an issue because of the High Availability design.
View full review »The failover is pretty slow, especially if you are using VMware storage.
