Hello everyone,

Maybe someone in cummunity has already tried and know the approach related with my Q:

I’ve 2 working physical Nodes default Win2016 cfg. Configured SolarWinds VSAN using owerShell folowing guide. Everything working like it should be: starwind with one storage accomplished with CreateHA_2.ps1.
If I would like to add one more disk: I mean split my already existing physical C drive (it's hardware RAID it self) once more (as a did before), give it a letter.
And try to use powerShell script once more to get one more Shared storage within two nodes. Use CreateHA_2.ps1 script with some changes:

$imagePath
$imageName
$targetAlias2
$poolName2

Would it be enough to get the same result at it with the first disk/volume? And not eliminating the first one disk.

P.S. Don’t know should I change $storageName="" or its named by starwind automatically with the next one.

Thank you in advance.

Welcome to StarWind Forum.
No, you will not delete the second volume as script basically will not run if it encounters any name conflict. Here are the areas that need to be changed.
$imagePath="My computer\C\starwind",
$imageName="masterImg21",
$targetAlias="targetha21",

The same parameters are to be changed for the partner side of the script too.
