I am trying to set up a 2-node HA VSAN (Compute and Storage Separated) for a Windows Hyper-V server cluster.
I have been following the following (https://www.starwindsoftware.com/resour ... rver-2016/), and am stuck at initializing the disks on the cluster nodes.
All of the iSCSI targets were discovered and connected fine. However, when I go in to Disk Management it initialize the disk, I see 2...same size. Should I not only see one (1) HA drive?

Hi,

Did you enable MPIO? Replicas form one device in Disk manager.

Yes, enabled MPIO on the 2 StarWind VSAN servers (running on Hyper-V 2019), and on the 3 Hypervisors (also(running on Hyper-V 2019).
