I am facing issues while enabling Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) on my Windows Server setup. Here are the details of my setup and the problem encountered:
Server Setup:
Server 1:
- Domain Controller Server and Failover Cluster Manager.
- Windows Server 2022 Standard
Server 2 (Cluster Node 1):
Windows Server 2022 Datacenter
Disks
DiskPart:
Server 3 (Cluster Node 2):
Windows Server 2022 Datacenter
Disks :
MegaRAID Controller:
- RAID controller has been set up in JBOD mode.
Steps Taken:
Installed the required features on nodes from the cluster manager server.
Invoke-Command -ComputerName win-6pn5tsncl07.test_ad.local,win-slefc1bh2f8.test_ad.local { Install-WindowsFeature FS-FileServer,Failover-Clustering,Hyper-V -IncludeAllSubFeature -IncludeManagementTools }Manually restarted both cluster nodes.
Created the cluster:
New-Cluster -Name Test-Cluster -Node win-6pn5tsncl07.test_ad.local,win-slefc1bh2f8.test_ad.local -StaticAddress 192.168.10.10 -NoStorageRan cluster validation
Cluster Validation Report:
- Failed to list all disks for Storage Spaces Direct:
Error Summary:
- Node 1
No eligible disks were found on which to perform cluster validation tests.
Eligible disks must comply with the following:
- Default supported bus types are "SAS", "SATA" and "NVMe"
- Disks with a SAS or NVMe bus types must support page 83
- Disks with a SATA bus types must support page 80
- A disk with no partition table (RAW) or a partition table with a GPT or an MBR format is supported
- Disks with a GPT partition table must not contain any system or basic data partitions
- Disks with an MBR partition table may only contain unused, logical disk manager (LDM), or Microsoft Storage Spaces partitions
Disk won't be eligible either if any of the following is true:
- Disk is a boot volume
- Disk is a system volume
- Disk is used for paging files
- Disk is a hibernate disk
- Disk is used for memory dump files
- Disk is removable
- The port driver used by the disk does not support clustering
- Disk type is dynamic
- Disk is in use by another application
- Disk is a redundant multipath I/O (MPIO) disk
- Disk is a snapshot disk
- Disk belongs to a non primordial storage pool
- Disk is failing IO. Control code failures
- Disk is unreadable
Disk0: Disk is a boot volume. Disk is a system volume. Disk is used for paging files. Disk bus type does not support clustering. Disk partition style is GPT. Disk has a System Partition. Cannot cluster a disk with a System Partition. Disk has a Microsoft Reserved Partition. Disk has a Basic Data Partition. Cannot cluster a disk with a Basic Data Partition.. Disk has a Microsoft Recovery Partition. Disk type DYNAMIC. Disk does not have non-volatile
Disk1: Disk bus type does not support clustering. No disk partition style defined. Disk is RAW. Disk type is BASIC. Disk does not have non-volatile cache.
Disk2: Disk bus type does not support clustering. No disk partition style defined. Disk is RAW. Disk type is BASIC. Disk does not have non-volatile cache.
- Node 2
