Hi,
We'd like to test VSAN Free on 2 lab servers (Win 2022 - Hyper V) running on desktop PCs fitted with 3 NVMe ssd each.
I understand using CVM is strongly recommended for performance reasons but I have some questions regarding physical storage access :
1/ As the CVM is running as a Hyper-V VM, the documentation explains we have to use DDA in order to provision the physical storage, which will work for hardware RAID controllers (ie Dell PERC controller), but will it work with a classic NVMe SSD drive on a standard PC ?
2/ In the VM settings, it is also possible to attach a physical drive to the VM, instead of a virtual disk. May we use this instead of DDA ?
3/ If 1 and 2 do not work, I suppose we'll have to fall back to the Windows application installed on the Hyper-V, but in that case should we prepare to performance issues ?
Thanks !
