Sorry - the question is a bit confusing.<br />
<br />
SOFS utilizes local storage<br />
CSV utilizes shared storage<br />
<br />
It sounds like you already have shared storage via iSCSI, so I don't understand how SOFS could be used &quot;on top&quot; of that - ?<br />
<br />
What is the end goal here? high availability for the UPD's ?

Yes, that is the end goal. &nbsp;Just wondering if it is OK to install the SOFS role on already clustered Hyper-V host servers.

SOFS on Hyper-V Hosts

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.
