I am looking to setup a test environment using some equipment I have pieced together over the years. I have a couple of Dell PowerEdge 1950 servers and 2 Seagate BlackArmor NAS 400 Units. The Dell servers are running Server 2012 R2 and the NAS units have Raid 5 volumes setup.
My goal is to setup a Hyper-V virtual machine environment where the machines hard drives run off of the Seagate NAS units.
I wanted to get some input about best practices and how this should be setup. From my research it says that Hyper-V over SMB requires SMB 3.0 and I cannot find documentation that states whether the Seagate NAS units are capable of this or not.
I am very familiar with Hyper-V but have never run a machine from a network share before. What is the best way of setting this up?
