I am trying to build a Hyper-V cluster with VMM 2012 R2 but require some advice as it is not working how I want it too.
I have 2 Hyper-V servers, both with their own local storage and 1 iSCSI disk shared between them. I am trying to cluster the servers so that the shared iSCSI disk becomes a shared volume while maintaining the ability to use the local storage as well - some VMs will run from local storage while others will run from the CSV.
The issue I'm having is that when I cluster the 2 servers the iSCSI disk does not show up in VMM as a shared volume. In Windows Explorer the disk has the cluster icon but in VMM there is nothing. In the cluster properties I can add a shared volume... but it asks for a logical node which I cannot create because I have no storage pools (server manager says no groups of disks are available to pool).
I also noticed when I clustered the servers my 2 file shares to their local storage disappeared from VMM which isn't what I want.
Can someone please advise, or link to, a way to achieve my desired configuration?
Cheers,
MrGoodBytes
