S2D: Change model or manuctured for vhdx

In our lab environment, we have a lab that turning selective drives as Cache using PS.

The command example as per below:

Get-PhysicalDisk | Where-Object Size -le 100GB

Get-PhysicalDisk | Where-Object Size -le 100GB | Set-PhysicalDisk -Usage Journal

** We have some drives created as 100GB, and we converted those 100GB drives as cache (Journal).
** For your case, you can filter the driver using their UniqueID.

Good

I am not asking how to enable a s2d cluster.
I am asking how to modify the model of a vhdx disk to be able to perform advanced configurations and tuning with the s2d cache.

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the model of a vhdx disk?

Hello Jorge J,

Thank you for your question.

You can deploy a hyper-converged S2D cluster by provisioning a Hyper-V cluster and enable S2D from existing Hyper-V hosts, or by provisioning from bare-metal servers.

You can't currently enable S2D in a hyper-converged deployment on a Hyper-V cluster deployed from bare metal computers with the Nano operating system.

Note

You must enable S2D before adding the storage provider to VMM. To enable S2D, go to General Configuration > Specify the cluster name and host group and select the Enable Storage Spaces Direct option

After you enable a cluster with S2D, VMM does the following:

The File Server role and the Failover Clustering feature is enabled.
Storage replica and data deduplication is enabled.
The cluster is optionally validated and created.
S2D is enabled, and a storage array is created with the same name you provide in the wizard.
If you use PowerShell to create a hyper-converged cluster, the pool and the storage tier is automatically created with the Enable-ClusterS2D autoconfig=true option.
