Option of " Add to cluster Share Volumes " against the disks in Hyper-V failover cluster is not appearing

Hav you created the shared volumes on the server?

Hi Gaurav,

I have created the shared volumes on each server. I have forgot to attach the screenshot in my post. I am attaching the screensot here and you may look into it.

can you paste the screen shot of the disk management?

Hi,

I have attached the screenshot of disk management of both Hyper-V cluster nodes.

 

Refer below link to verify each steps of your cluster. make sure cluster shared volume is enabled

Hi Gaurav,

Thanks for providing the helpfull link.  The option to enable cluster shared volume is also not appearing.  You may check given below screenshot.

How are the disks attached to the cluster?

In an elevated PowerShell:

Get-PhysicalDisk | FL
Get-Disk | FL
Get-ClusterResource | FL

Select allOpen in new window

Please post the results into a CODE window or attached TXT file.

I have to manage the resolve the case by removing the disk from cluster and then able to assign it again properly. I had selected the option " Add All eligible storage to the cluster"  and cluster was created successfully.  

However,  after it the disks was not set as cluster share volume. However, disk was properly assigned by cluster to nodes incase of failover. It was working in old style ( Disk can only assign to one node).

I have simply remove the disk from cluster manager and assign it again. Now it is marked as CSV and also appearing under C:\ClusterStorage.  


Question:  Should I need to assign the Quorum disk as CSV as well? Morever, in disk management the disk is online only on One cluster node even after assigning the disks as CSV .  Is it normal behavior?

Quorum remains Cluster Disk.

And yes, CSV shows on the owner node.

Hi Philip,

Thanks for your help. Can you please also guide me about NIC configurations set for Hyper-V cluster. I am confuse that what protocols ( Client for Microsoft Networks, File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks etc.) need to set on each NIC created for Live Migration, Management, Cluster etc. networks?

Moreover,  can I create two or three separate virtual switch by selecting each separate physical NIC in cluster so I may assign the dedicated physica NIC to some virtual machines?  Moreover, should I need to set the IP and Gateway settings on these physical NICs on Hyper-V host?
