Shared VHDX for Guest Clusters using SMB 3.0

LiveAverage — Fri, 03 Apr 2015 19:29:23 GMT

Just curious if there's any word of supporting Shared VHDX's for guest clusters when running SMB 3.0 as backend storage for Hyper-V clusters? Has anyone else hit this roadblock? SMB3 is great for general VM storage, but there still needs to be some way, preferably with non-block storage, to create shared guest storage for satisfying guest cluster needs? Any information on what others are doing would be helpful. Thanks,

Hi!

Did you figure it out?

As I understand you need SMB3.02 support, but maybe that´s changed.

Unforunately I never got it to work. I believe it's only supported using Microsoft's native SMB 3.0 -- never got it going with our NetApp filers.
