We have a 2 node failover cluster running Server 2016. The physical servers and storage are hosted or part of a Dell VRTX blade server with 3 Physical Servers and on board storage availble to share to each host or vm's.
I created virtual disks on the VRTX and gave access to each hyper V host, the disks show up in disk management on each host but when trying to add them as Cluster shared volumes failover cluster manager gives me the message "No disks suitable for cluster disk".
Please note that i did this all before and it worked fine, i had 3 clustered shared volumes setup previosuly but now only 2 as i removed CSV 3
I am trying to create clustered shared volume 4.
I have tried everything i can think of such as: -
- formatting disks numerous times using MBR or GPT
- setting disks to oniline / offline with or without drive letters
- used powershell commands to clear cluster disk reservation
- restarted both nodes
- Shutdown the whole cluster
- Run cluster validation tests
PLEASE HELP i dont know what else to try
