Hello
I'm trying to migrate a physical 2012R2 NAS cluster to a virtual Windows 2019 Server cluster but hitting some problems with not all destination volumes displaying for me to map source data to.
The source has 7 volumes with just over 14Tb of data.
The destination is Windows Server 2019 1809 (for LTSC) two node cluster. 5 intended destination volumes are available on the cluster. Each host has 12 Core CPU and 16Gb RAM for what it's worth.
In SMS, when I scan the destination file cluster, I only see 1 volume available. I'm using an external orchestrator running Windows Server (Core) 1909. The account used to scan and access all nodes has full permissions over each.
Can somebody please give some pointers? Thank you.

Hi,
And you can read the following article to check if you have configured all things right:

Thanks for your time!

Hi Mico
Thanks for taking the time to respond.
1.
What is strange is, when I scan the destination server in SMS, it brings back one of the target volumes, but not the other. They have all been carved and presented from the SAN to the cluster in the same manner.
Hi Mico
I made a bit of progress yesterday evening, but still a little confused.
I setup a new job in SMS, but this time for the target server configuration I nominated the destination cluster. When I scanned it, it only showed one volume. The only thing I could deduce was that this volume has a share on it that I set up for testing. When I added another test share to another volume and re-scanned it, that volume (and share) also showed up.
I went back to the original job and re-scanned the cluster in the destination configuration, low and behold it now shows both volumes as destination options to map to.
My question has now changed to this. If in Job settings (under Inventory servers) 'Include administrative shares' is checked, why do I seemingly need to setup a share on each destination volume before it will recognise that volume when SMS scans it?
Hi,
If 'Include administrative shares' is unchecked, can those volumes (without share) be scanned?
Best Regards,
Mico Mi
Hi Mico
No. I originally did not select that option, but when the volumes didn't appear I subsequently checked it.

Hi Spencer K.
Do you open a case and fix a problem?
Can you share a solution for us.
Thank you very much.
Hi,
Because all the things seem to be configured right, the research we can do is limited. If you want to know the root cause, it is suggested to go to open a case in the following link.
