What will the workloads be?<br />
<br />
Yes, you can set up S2D in a virtual environment. There are articles for setting S2D up in Azure for example.<br />
<br />
The question is, why? The single point of failure would be the host thus the purpose of having high availability is defeated. That is if I understand that the S2D setup is running on a single host?

Thanks for your response, so let me break down a bit on my requirement.<br />
<br />
I am planning to move my 3 VM's which are on a 2008R2 Hyper-v standalone server to 2016 Hyper-v with a HA feature in it.<br />
So my plan was to create a new 2016 hyper-v environment first with a HA with S2D without sharing the storage the VM's each VM will have its own dedicated storage.<br />
<br />
So was wondering what is the best way to achieve this, as other challenge is to move the VM from 2008 to 2016 which I understand there is no direct method to do this.

Hi All,<br />
I have a quick question.<br />
can I use a single host Hyper-v Windows 2016 to setup a Hyper-converged S2D.<br />
<br />
I Need to setup 3 servers in a Hyper-V HA environment with S2D, so I want to go with a hyper-converged options.<br />
<br />
can anyone please confirm if this is possible.

Single host Hyper-V for Hyper-convereged Storage Spaces direct

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Windows OS

Hyper-V is a native hypervisor; it can create virtual machines on x86-64 systems and supersedes Windows Virtual PC as the hardware virtualization component of the client editions of Windows NT. A server computer running Hyper-V can be configured to expose individual virtual machines to one or more networks. Hyper-V Server supports remote access via Remote Desktop Connection. Administration and configuration of the host OS and the guest virtual machines is generally done over the network.
