Unless I'm doing something totally wrong, the Type choices in the pool are 'Image file' and 'IBV' ??anton (staff) wrote:Yes, you create the pool of a particular type (LSFS or FLAT) and then you create new entities from it.

Good idea!This cluster has now been added to our instance of SCVMM 2012 SP1 and I want to add the storage to SCVMM so I can deploy a private cloud.
Note: SMI-S Agent reports only devices that was created withing it. Devices created with use of StarWind Management Console ignored by SMI-S Agent.I believe that I need to install the SMI-S agent to make this 4TB HA disk available to SCVMM. I did the install for the SMI-S agent, but I don't see my 4TB HA Disk. Instead I see "StarWind Storage Array - Storage" with 3 storage pools "ConcretePool_Storage_Flat" "ConcretePool_Storage_HA" and "ConcretePoos_Storage_ThinProvisioned" with 199.90GB total space. I have no idea where these are coming from.
StarWind SAN, HyperV can be placed either on different physical servers or the same physical server. SCVMM preferably to place on a separate host.1) Is what I am attempting to do even a good idea? (Have the StarWind HA disk images located physically on the HyperV Hosts and available to SCVMM.) Or is it a requirement to have the StarWind SAN on different physical servers than the HyperV Hosts for SCVMM Storage?
Yes, you definitely should update to StarWind V8 beta and install recent version of SMI-S Agent. Use SCVMM 2012 R2 installed on Windows Server 2012 R2.2) If it is worth pursuing, any suggestions on how to fix my install? Do I need to upgrade to the V8 Beta and/or Win Server 2008 R2? (I have MSDN account so Win update is possible.)
