Hi,
Can somebody provide me with a reference architecture of a Hyper-V cluster implementation over SMB3 with a SAN?
Microsoft is putting everything up to shift us to SOFS/Storage spaces but the storage vendors also have SMB3 available directly on the SAN.
An firmware upgrade of existing SAN would leverage us the same functionality, right?
Can't I directly put VMs on a SAN SMB3 share without SOFS?
The Hyper-V cluster won't use a quorum disk but a SMB3 witness share directly on the SAN. Is this going to work?
As the SMB3 share is HA via the controllers of the SAN, I don't need to use CSV's.
I don't want to add SOFS because they add another layer which causes management and latency so if it's possible without why not?
Netapp and EMC have released firmwares with SMB3 support, anybody has experience with this setup? I found this NetApp documentation :
