Cheers!

Hi 3wan,

I'm afraid I could not find official related information about this error.

Have you checked if all the requirements are met?

Storage Spaces Direct hardware requirements:

Hi Leo,

Thanks for the link, I definitely have met those requirements but not on all servers in the cluster.

What is interesting - despite this error It still shows as on in the Failover Cluster manager.

The disks and enclosures are all there, had no problem adding them to a Pool eithe, its only a problem when i attempt to create a virtual disk, it say: "this pool isn't properly configured for storage spaces direct - try running the Enable-clusterS2D cmdlet again."

I'm guessing i'll have to break the clusters out into the identical servers and then the others that don't have S2D enabled disks.

One of the requirements is "All servers must be identical in hardware components, drivers, firmware, and configuration*". * Yet you state "I definitely have met those requirements but not on all servers in the cluster".   There seems to be a contradiction there.

As Tim outlined, all the servers need to be configured the same for S2D.  Also, you cannot mix S2D and shared disks in the same cluster.

Also be sure to run the cluster Validation tool before setting up S2D (and for any cluster)

Thanks!

Try to disable S2D (Disable-ClusterS2D) and clean all the drives/disks that will be used for S2D. In order to do this, you have to run diskpart and perform a clean command on each drive. After this is done, try to re-enable S2D again.

Hi Tim, 

Yep, not the most helpful post on my part! Logic fail. I had 4 servers that were identical, but not all the servers in the cluster were... Rectified this situation, now I can confirm i've met the requirements.

Tried Disabling S2D, Same error... Very odd...

To clean the disks / pools to reset, there is a script to run in section 3.4 of this doc:
https://technet.microsoft.com/windows-server-docs/storage/storage-spaces/hyper-converged-solution-using-storage-spaces-direct

Once that runs successfully, also make sure that you have run the Validate tool in Failover Cluster Manager (or you can run the Test-Cluster cmdlet)

Thanks!
