Hi,
I understand that dedup is not possible on a csv.
What if I install a VM with Windows 2012, attach a 2nd HDD as vhdx (residing on the csv).
Can I then use dedup within the Guest VM that serves as file server?
Basically what I want to do:
- Having a Hyper-V Cluster for HA
- Having a fileserver, that can also failover.
- Using Dedup.
I just see following possibilities:
- having the VHDX on a CSV, so it can be failed over, but not sure about Dedup inside a VM.
- using a different LUN without CSV, and somehow have it fail over if the VM is moved to another node. (Virtual Fibre Channel doesn't work as our adapter doesn't support it), so didn't find a solution on that yet.
But would be interested if anything is against using it inside VM?
Thanks
Patrick
