Hello Everyone,
I hope someone can help us with this one. We have a customer with a 2-Node cluster in a SuperMicro CiB. The issue we are facing is that with Windows Enterprise edition we are unable to use a virtual disk on a CiB as a Witness disk without making it a cluster resource on Windows 2012 R2. We are able to successfully create a virtual disk, but it wont let me use it until I add it as a CSV. The issue is that if I add it as a CSV, then I cannot use as a Witness.
But, I can do the same when I am using the Windows 2012 R2 Storage Server. I can create a virtual disk and it shows up as available, which I can use as a witness disk. Is there a difference in the way Enterprise Edition works in this context?
I will try to post the snapshots, but it basically is that the virtual disk shows up as offline under the Failover Cluster Manager > Disks. It wont come online until I add it to the CSV. Any help in understanding this will be greatly appreciated.
Change: Sorry guys, not Enterprise edition, but Datacenter edition.
