S2D - Setup Storage Cluster

  • Article

Requirements: First run job "S2D - Prepare Machines for Tests" Sets up a storage cluster with Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) enabled, and performs basic storage and spaces configuration. This will provision one storage pool using all eligible disks in the cluster, one virtual disk, and add it to Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV). Only works *without* cluster already created, and no storage pool and space created. To reconfigure an existing cluster using this job, first remove all virtual disks, storage pools, and cluster roles, then remove the cluster, before running this job. Or run job "S2D - Remove cluster" to peform the same cleanup. If this job fails, look in the output directory for Configure-S2DCluster.log for details on the failure.
