One of the option to share this volume through SAN in all nodes it will be a huge Volume, so is there any other possibility to make multiple partitions of 4TB and provide them with single shared path?

    Hi,
    You can follow the guide to configure DFS:
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/dfs-namespaces/checklist-deploy-dfs-namespaces

    DFS Namespaces enables you to group shared folders that are located on different servers into one or more logically structured namespaces. Each namespace appears to users as a single shared folder with a series of subfolders. However, the underlying structure of the namespace can consist of numerous file shares that are located on different servers and in multiple sites.

    Thanks for your time!
    Best Regards,
    Mico Mi
