Hi,
We are using Netapp SMB 3.0 storage which is natively supported.
We have 2 Hyper-V 16 node cluster and each cluster would need 4 SMB 3.0 shares with each 4TB capacity as listed below.
When we asked the above requirement, the storage team created 8 - 4TB SMB shares on netapp storage and discovered through SMI-S.
But what i understand is the discovered storage is not SMB shares but they are storage pools. Listed below.
As per my understanding, They should have created 2 storage pools. each pool with size of 16TB to satisfy our requirement.
Later create shares of each 4TB. 4 shares for first cluster and 4 shares for second cluster.
When we do that, we can achieve ODX as 4 shares will be from same pool and ODX should function between the 4 shares.
Correct me on this,
Above screenshot shows up 8- 4TB storage pool but should haven been 2 storage pool with each pool being 16TB. and create 4 - 4TB shares fulfilling the requirement of 4 shares per cluster and qualifying ODX function.
When i read this article, the netapp storage is represented as share from storage side, then volume and then create the share to get the ODX working
