Hi,
Ive been running my lab on 2 hosts with local storage (2012 R2). Recently ive purchased an additional server and setup an SMB 3 (Server 2012 R2) share for my VMs.
I switch my hosts and SMB Server off at night (as its only a lab). When I boot the next morning, I cannot connect to anything and my VMs are in a "saved-critical" state. The only way I can get things moving again is to
1. Delete my DC
2. Copy the files to a local drive
3. import the VM back into the host
4. Migrate the storage back to the SMB 3 share
The above works but is a bit of a pain. Anyone got any suggestions as to what I can do? Im guessing im in a bit of a chicken and egg situation as I must need the DC to validate the permissions for the share?
