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

 

Hyper-V - VHD

one thing that needs fixing in Hyper-V when saving the VHD is default location

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual Hard Disks\

why does it not save our our own profile location, i had trouble looking for it until i ran through all the options again

come on Microsoft please release a fix for this

 

Shrinking Hyper-V VHD disk

Hello,

We are having some space issue with our storage and we are planning to shrink some of the Virtual Disk that are assign to some of our Hyper-V Guest machines.

Is editing the Virtual HD on the Hyper-V Manager and doing a compact will do this? I am actually looking for an option to appear like for how much I wanted to shrink the VHD but when I click next it just start the compact process.

Also, is compacting this VHD really takes long time to finish? Any estimate how long so I do have an idea? I am planning to shrink 2 VHD one from 300GB to 150GB and the other is from 2TB to 1TB.
