Configuring Storage Spaces Direct
279 AH0054602-00 M
The following Windows PowerShell command creates a virtual disk with both
mirror and parity resiliency on the storage pool:
New-Volume -StoragePoolFriendlyName "S2D*" -FriendlyName
<VirtualDiskName> -FileSystem CSVFS_ReFS -StorageTierfriendlyNames
Capacity,Performance -StorageTierSizes <Size of capacity tier in
size units, example: 800GB>, <Size of Performance tier in size
units, example: 80GB> -CimSession <ClusterName>
Step 7. Creating or Deploying Virtual Machines
You can provision the virtual machines onto the nodes of the hyper-converged
S2D cluster. Store the virtual machine’s files on the system’s Cluster Shared
Volume (CSV) namespace (for example,
c:\ClusterStorage\Volume1), similar
to clustered virtual machines on failover clusters.
