I´m having this "disk bus type does not support clustering" thing when evaluating stroage in FCM. I´m creating a lab, which requires cluster, I´m using Hyper-V 2012 on a HP Powerfull workstation with LSI SAS controller and 2 SAS disks. I´m having 2 W2012 nodes on a same Hyper-V host, which will be members of a cluster.
With the same hardware and VMware, things worked like this:
- I had 1 mirorred array of 2 SAS disk on LSI controller.
- When adding a disk to VM node, I enabled sharing/pass-through option of desired disk
- I created a volume in first node in Windows Server's Disk Manager
- As iscsi, evaluation of a storage was done and everything worked as a charm
With Hyper-V, I don´t know how to do iscsi. Now my disks are as SCSI, and not supported.
Question is, how to create a storage correctly, supported my FCM?
- Should I keep array in LSI? Or should I do single disks?
- Should I create vdmx inside the Hyper-V host, or should I connect disks directly to a VM nodes?
- Should I stick with scsi or fiber channel?
- Which is better, to create a mirrored drive in LSI, or with Windows´s disk manager?
