Fruit Smoothies: Mar 28, 2004; The bat with a ZING

Cross-post with Enterprise Windows Server:

I have a CSV based on a three-way mirror using storage spaces direct. These three physical servers also need to host HA HyperV guests. When configuring the hosts to point to the VHDX files, can I use C:\ClusterStorage\file.vhdx, or do I need to have a SoFS and reference them \\cluser\share\file.vhdx?

I only ask because during a migration, one physical server went down (!!!) and the migration (on another server) failed when referencing C:\ClusterStorage. This strikes me as odd, as I would have predicted the three-way mirror meant that the migration should continue regardless of if one node goes down?

Cheers

Apparently, due to network loopbacks, storing on the C:\cluster is the way forward. Thanks guys
