    HYPER-V with Hardware SAS RAID only on VM - possible ?


    Hi there

    Looking at nice fast SAS RAID stuff for the VM --any idea if it's possible to pass thru the RAID controller to the VM without Windows seeing it or the HDD's it will be attached to -- I want mega fast I/O so I want to use RAID 0 -- not worried about failure as I have enough backup.

    I want the attached HDD's to the RAID controller to go straight to the VM as "Raw" HDD's.
    Possible from Windows Host or not.

    No problem with current setup although Windows still shows the 2 HDD's (Non SAS) that I've attached to the VM as "Non initialized". (HDD's formatted XFS). It would be nice if Windows didn't even SEE these drives so ALL the I/O was totally done by the VM..

    What I'd also like is a really stripped down version of Windows so most of the resources can go to the VM which I'm using as a Server. Was looking at Windows 2016 server - but it's hopelessly expensive for home users - although you can get a Trial.

    Cheers

    Hyper-V VHD issue (RAID 0 setup)

    Hello all,

    I just tried using Hyper-V after upgrading my desktop hardware to a setup with 2 drives (identical drives) in a RAID0 setup.

    Before the upgrade (and reïnstallation of Windows 10) i was able to create as many VM's with VHD as i want, however sinds the upgrade of my hardware this is no longer possible.

    When i now try to create a new VM in Hyper-V Manager in the final step i get an error saying that the storage location on my Virtual Harddrive is not supporting sharing of Virtual Harddrives.

    Does this mean that Hyper-V see's a RAID0 setup as a VHD and therefor is not capable of connecting VHD's to my VM's? Saying Hyper-V is not capable of working with RAID0 ?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks in advance for your replies.

    Kind Regards,

    Bart

    Install windows 10 on hyper-v running on a windows 10 host licensing - Activation

    I don't think that will work. In a Hyper-v VM the hardware is emulated; it is not the same hardware as the base machine. The OS in the VM will fail to activate.

    HYPER-V with Hardware SAS RAID only on VM - possible ?

    Might be tricky. I mean, there's of course an option to use physical disks on Hyper-V vm, but to do that the disks must be set offline on host first. Using host hardware RAID controller on a vm is if not completely impossible but at least very tricky and difficult.

    There's very little information available about using RAID on Hyper-V virtual machines, the information available suggests you should use either software RAID or Storage Pools / SAN.

    A bit older TechNet article still worth to read: Planning for Disks and Storage

    This is also a good series of articles: Storage planning for Hyper-V Hosts (Part 1) :: Windows Server 2012 :: Articles Tutorials :: WindowsNetworking.com
