Step 5. Enabling Storage Spaces Direct
After creating the cluster, use the
Enable-ClusterStorageSpacesDirect
PowerShell cmdlet. The cmdlet places the storage system into the Storage
Spaces Direct mode and automatically does the following:
Creates a single large pool that has a name such as
S2D on Cluster1
.
Configures Storage Spaces Direct cache. If there is more than one media
type available for Storage Spaces Direct use, it configures the most efficient
type as cache devices (in most cases, read and write).
Creates two tiers—
Capacity
and
Performance
—as default tiers. The
cmdlet analyzes the devices and configures each tier with the mix of device
types and resiliency.
Step 6. Creating Virtual Disks
If the Storage Spaces Direct was enabled, it creates a single pool using all of the
disks. It also names the pool (for example
S2D on Cluster1
), with the name of the
cluster that is specified in the name.
