1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:05,450 We'll select File and Storage Services, Storage Pools, and 2 00:00:05,450 --> 00:00:08,450 there's the Primordial pool that I told you about before, and 3 00:00:08,450 --> 00:00:11,040 here are our three physical disks. 4 00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:14,360 Now we could create a brand‑new storage pool here, so 5 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:15,870 I'm going to right‑click. Actually, 6 00:00:15,870 --> 00:00:18,950 can I do a multi‑select? I can. I'm going to do a 7 00:00:18,950 --> 00:00:21,130 shift‑click really. I'm sure you know this, 8 00:00:21,130 --> 00:00:24,100 but if not, select one, hold down Shift, 9 00:00:24,100 --> 00:00:28,010 hit the second, and all in between ones are selected. Right‑click New 10 00:00:28,010 --> 00:00:34,520 Storage Pool, and I'm going to call this one pool1 on rodc1. 11 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,950 We're going to enlist all three of those for allocation here. 12 00:00:37,950 --> 00:00:40,230 We can specify, this is kind of cool. 13 00:00:40,230 --> 00:00:43,740 We didn't see these options surfaced on Windows client. 14 00:00:43,740 --> 00:00:47,120 We can bring machines in specifically as a Hot Spare. 15 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,460 Otherwise, we could let Storage Spaces monitor the disks that way, 16 00:00:51,460 --> 00:00:54,840 just depending upon your need for control I suppose. 17 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:55,140 Okay, 18 00:00:55,140 --> 00:00:59,350 good, so now those disks have been claimed out of the Primordial 19 00:00:59,350 --> 00:01:03,180 pool, but we can see them and report on them again here. We can 20 00:01:03,180 --> 00:01:06,700 remove, and we can go to Properties and just look at some health, 21 00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:08,090 and so on, and so forth. 22 00:01:08,090 --> 00:01:09,980 And then, of course, we're going to want to start to 23 00:01:09,980 --> 00:01:13,440 carve out virtual and physical disks. 24 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,220 So we do a New Virtual Disk, 25 00:01:15,220 --> 00:01:17,970 select the storage pool, and we step through this 26 00:01:17,970 --> 00:01:19,590 wizard that we've used quite a bit. 27 00:01:19,590 --> 00:01:21,840 I'll call this data1. 28 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,240 Now if you've got tiered disks, 29 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,450 this is where you would specify to create storage tiers. 30 00:01:27,450 --> 00:01:29,440 Now I don't have solid‑state, 31 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,100 these are all mechanical disks, so this option is 32 00:01:32,100 --> 00:01:35,940 unavailable. So let's go here, enclosure awareness, 33 00:01:35,940 --> 00:01:38,840 nope. Here's where we get our layout options, and again, 34 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,540 depending upon how many disks you have, 35 00:01:41,540 --> 00:01:45,540 you're going to need five discs at least to do three‑way mirroring, 36 00:01:45,540 --> 00:01:48,960 and for parity to protect against two failures, 37 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,880 you need at least seven disks. 38 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,010 If you want to do a RAID 5 type array, single disk failure, 39 00:01:54,010 --> 00:01:55,500 that would be at least three disks. 40 00:01:55,500 --> 00:01:59,780 Again, I'm going to do a simple Mirror. Provisioning, Thin or Thick. 41 00:01:59,780 --> 00:02:03,320 This is something, again, we didn't see on the client side. We don't have to 42 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,820 use all the space if we want to, or we could specify, yes, 43 00:02:06,820 --> 00:02:07,980 use the maximum space. 44 00:02:07,980 --> 00:02:12,770 I'm going to make this just a 40‑GB slice, click Next, and click 45 00:02:12,770 --> 00:02:17,140 Create. So creating the virtual disk is half of it. 46 00:02:17,140 --> 00:02:20,710 We then need to create a volume, so we'll leave that Create a volume 47 00:02:20,710 --> 00:02:25,190 selected. Make sure that our disk is selected, yes it is. 48 00:02:25,190 --> 00:02:28,690 Provisioning, drive letter, not do a drive letter, 49 00:02:28,690 --> 00:02:34,330 do a folder mount; File system, NTFS or ReFS; what the 50 00:02:34,330 --> 00:02:38,940 volume name is. Next, and then Create. 51 00:02:38,940 --> 00:02:39,930 So there it is. 52 00:02:39,930 --> 00:02:41,870 So this whole pattern, 53 00:02:41,870 --> 00:02:45,740 this whole motif is surfaced with Storage Spaces direct, but we 54 00:02:45,740 --> 00:02:48,650 transition it. Instead of Windows Storage, we bring it into 55 00:02:48,650 --> 00:02:53,440 Cluster Storage. Switching back to my workstation here, now let's 56 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,580 open up Failover Cluster Manager. 57 00:02:55,580 --> 00:02:57,450 Not Disk Management, thank you very much. 58 00:02:57,450 --> 00:03:00,850 Let's open up Failover Cluster, and let's make a 59 00:03:00,850 --> 00:03:07,000 connection to our cluster, Connect to Cluster. Mine is called az801cluster.
