Is there any info to read about S2D disk space usage. I tried to understand the usage after i enabled s2d and created empty volume. And I saw that I understand nothing in this area, at least via wac :(
In Windows Admin Center, you should be able to see the disk space usage under Tools -> Drives and then by clicking the Inventory tab. See: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-stack/hci/get-started#drives
I want to configure single-node cluster on azure stack hci. I have used 2 HDD+2SSD. and my bare metal server enabled HBA mode to pass through RAID. I have installed on 2 HDD. and 2SSD in raw position. I can create cluster but can not exucute the command line "Enable-ClusterStorageSpacesDirect -CacheState Disabled" and also showing can pool is false. what's the solution?
Hi Suvradeb. The four drives will need to be identical SSDs for a non-cached solution. One recent announcement from Microsoft is lowering the minimum number of capacity drives needed. In your case, you can create an HCI cluster with just 2 SSD (no HDDs) drives as capacity drives. See learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/storage-spaces/storage-spaces-direct-hardware-requirements#physical-deployments
Correct, Storage Bus Layer (SBL) cache is not supported in single server HCI configurations. The only supported storage types are flat-NVMe or SSD (i.e., single drive type).

Yikes, so I wouldn’t be able to use this in a server with 12 hdd’s and 4 SSD’s? :(
