Hello everyone,
I am getting the error: The storage where the virtual hard disk is located does not support virtual hard disk sharing.
This error is shown when I edit a virtual machine in HyperV and edit a hard disk that I created to be configured as shared storage.
The reason why I want this is because I want the storage to be used in 2 vm's as a clustered disk.
I read some articles but I can't find the exact reason so thats why I ask it overhere.
My setup:
- Physical Server
Raid setup:
> 1 raid 1 with 2 ssd drives <-- used for the hyperv 2012 R2 core hypervisor
> 1 raid 1 with 2 ssd drives
> 1 raid 5 with 4 hdd drives
I added the raid5 and the other raid 1 to a storage pool and selected it as storage tiering in the virtual disk, so far so good.
I installed 2 Windows server 2012 R2 ( with failover clustering and fileshare roles, they are in the same domain ) on the storage tiering volume and the VHDX files are on that volume aswell. Now I added another VHDX drive of 10GB (it is just a lab) to 1
of the windows server 2012 r2 and tried to share the drive. However, the above error is thrown.
Can someone help me out on this one and explain to me what I am doing wrong?
PS the machines windows 2k12 r2 are gen2 machines so using a VHD won't help as it is not supported on gen2. So it is not an alternative.
