Server 2012 R2 Failover Cluster
Running Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter with Hyper V role installed. I have created a RAID 5 with six 2TB hard drives for total of 8.95TB usable. I am using Windows Storage Spaces to configure my storage infrastructure. I created a storage pool that is 8.95TB and then created a virtual disk with size of 4TB and assigned it a drive letter E. I configured this on two physical servers with identical hardware.
When I try to create a Windows failover cluster and begin the validation process my virtual disk is detached and validation fails.
Cannot get past this step and not sure if I am missing a step or doing something wrong.
Would appreciate some ideas on how to resolve this issue.

I am using Starwind VSAN software to create the shared storage.
How would I expose the JBOD to Windows Server 2012?

Have you presented the Starwind vSAN iSCSI IP Address to both nodes ?

Yes
then you should be able to re-scan, and see the iSCSI disks?

I do see the iscsi disks, but the drive where I save the Starwind Images and LSFS files disappears when I do cluster validation on Windows 2012 box.

I fixed the problem by creating a new volume on the RAID 10 presented by windows disk management.
2) a hyper-V cluster requires shared storage. You can't create/validate a cluster if you only have servers with locally attached disks, even if they are configured the same,
