Dear community,
following this article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/high-availability/enable-support-using-raid-controllers I tried to enable Cluster S2D for my RAID drives with this registry key. After that Get-PhysicalDisk Shows that the drives are "CanPool" = "True"
When I try to Enable-ClusterStorageSpacesDirect I always get an error that my bustype is not supported.
Thanks for your support.

Hello Chris,
Thank you for your question and for reaching out with your question today.
You can check the compatibility requirements here:
If you remove the unsupported drives, you should be able to complete the command.

Hello, thank you for your answer. I checked the compatibility requirements. They don't fit, because the drives are attached on a RAID controller. BUT... my link shows how you can use even this bustype.
When I remove the unsupported drives, I would have no more drives to use. Every drive is connected on my RAID controller.
Best regards, Chris.
Hey,
It is not possible to use drives with "RAID" bus type to create S2D. You will need to use HBA, which allow Windows to connect to drives directly. Check for more information: https://www.starwindsoftware.com/blog/resolving-enable-clusters2d-bus-type-support-issue-on-some-storage-controllers
In case you don't have an option to replace RAID controller with HBA, you can use StarWind VSAN. It can be used to create replicated storage pool for Failover Cluster. https://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwind-virtual-san
