iscsi Storages

Question

why can't we use Multi NVMes disk to Storages Pool?

Answer 1

Hi,

Please check the following article to check if the disks meet the requirements to deploy the storage pool:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/storage-spaces/deploy-standalone-storage-spaces

And use powershell command get-physicaldisk to check if the disks can pool?

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/storage/get-physicaldisk?view=win10-ps

Thanks for your time!
Best Regards,
Anne

Hey,

There might be a driver issue, which doesn't allow you to create Storage Spaces pool out of multiple NVMe drives. Might help:

In addition, in case you need to share the pool via iSCSI StarWind VSAN free can be used:
