Get Started
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.
