Re: HyperV VSA instalation create volume

Hello guys! Yes, the .vhd drive created instead of .vhdx, solves the issue. You can login with IP, instead of VM name in order to prevent any conflicts. You can assign a static IP address under Configuration tab --> VSA Networking Settings.

These .spspx files are snapshot files, and new .spspx files will be created when you write something to HA storage. Please, note, if you experience the situation, w...
