Windows Server 2016 - iSCSI virtual disk invalid path

January 26, 2017, 12:42 pm

Hello all,

I'm running Windows Server 2016 and have two vhdx files that were previously iSCSI targets under Windows 2012 R2.  Each virtual drive is located on its own physical drive.  I was able to successfully import and setup a target for only one of the two, 'Public'.  When I try to import the vhdx for 'Bulk', it doesn't even show the drive in the Open File dialog despite being able to see it in File Explorer.  If I try to give it the location manually, I get the error "The entered path is not valid for the selected server."

<Image removed because otherwise I get the error, "Body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify your account", despite being logged in with an account that I've had for years>

Figure 1 : Drive D: clearly exists, but does not appear in Import iSCSI Virtual Disk Wizard

<Image removed because otherwise I get the error, "Body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify your account", despite being logged in with an account that I've had for years>

Figure 2 : When I specify the path manually, it tells me the path is invalid.

Why would I be able to see and navigate the drive in explorer but not have it show up in the iSCSI Import Virtual Disk Wizard?

Any help would be appreciated,

Gary

2-node DAS cluster, 14 HDD 2 SSD - recommendation needed on Storage Spaces Pool

January 26, 2017, 1:10 pm

I have a clustered 2-node 3U supermicro running Server 2016. There are 16 Direct Attached Storage drive slots, 14 are 4TB sas HDD, 2 are enterprise sas SSDs (boot drive is a satadom on each node).  I'd like one large volume for a general purpose file server.  

How should I provision the storage pool?  

I've played around with different allocations and everything seems to work fine - but I'd like to know the 'best' way.  Ideally, the SSDs are the caching tier for the rest of the HDDs and all data is mirrored (I'm thinking two-way, but three-way actually might even be better).

ADFS installed on Windows 2012R2 Domain Controller fully patched with latest updates

WAP and WorkFolders installed on Windows 2016 member server, fully patched with latest updatesClient Machine(s) 1) Windows 10 Enterprise, fully patched 2) Windows 10 Enterprise with latest insider build (Feb 2017 preview)

Steps Taken to Build Environment:

I followed the TechNet article here to set this up https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn747202(v=ws.11).aspx

Notes:We are migrating from WAP/WorkFolders on Windows 2012R2 to Windows 2016. This worked on Windows 2012R2, but in the lab I cannot get this to work on Windows 2016. I have gone through the technet article numerous times, and always end up at this error. The Win10 client machines are domain joined, not workplace joined. I have gone through numerous forums, including this one (and the links within): https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/dc0b3fc7-3a72-48d2-a6bf-c6962dad968e/work-folders-adfs-web-app-something-missing?forum=winserver8gen

The ADFS cert is a publicly trusted cert, the workfolders cert is a self signed cert using the scripts from the TechNet article. ADFS is working as expected, so I think it's a problem with the WAP server. The above error occurs twice every 4 minutes on the WAP server.

It's all 1's and 0's in the end.

Happy  new  Year  to all, 

I am  trying to  find a  script, and  I am  thinking it  is a  logon  script  to collect  two  pieces  of  information ,  the  size  of the  hard drive  on a domain PC and  the  number  of space  used by  data files  on the PC.  Basically  I need to  know  if  users are  using the  file server  or  keeping  all the  data  on their domain PC. 

Possible  ?

Storage Spaces Direct - unable to configure Journal (cache) drives

I try to configure Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) on Dell R730xd, 3-node cluster. Each server has 2xSSD and 4xSATA drives dedicated to S2D pool. I have a simpble pass-through HBA controller, Dell HBA330, recomented by Dell for S2D solutions.

The problem is I cannot set the SSD drives as cache (Journal) drives.

Cluster validation for S2D is successfull.

Manually setting SSD drives as Journal has no effect.

Do you have any suggestions?

Hi,

Is it a supported solution to make a hyperconverged S2D cluster, and ALSO install the scale out file server role ?

So that the cluster can run VM's and ALSO act as a SOFS for other hyper-v servers.

Sending Username Hint when using Smart Card not working for drive mapping

I have two domains with a one-way trust.  I have a common PKI setup in both domains. 

When I map a drive letter to a share and select "connect using different credentials" and enter my username/password for the remote domain, I am able to authenticate to the remote domain with no problems. The remote user gets authenticated and the drive is mapped. 

When I attempt to map a drive letter to a share and select "connect using different credentials" then select the "smart card" option and then enter my PIN and Username Hint for the remote domain, my localdomain/localusername combination is sent. 

Is this behavior of always sending your local domain\username "by design"?  Is there any registry keys (or GPO's) that would affect this behavior other than "allow user name hint", which is already enabled everywhere?

Server 2012 - iSCSI Virtual Disks Missing After Reboot

June 5, 2013, 5:13 pm

Hi guys.  I recently had to reboot my Windows 2012 Storage Server.  When it came up, the physical disks that the iSCSI virtual disks reside on were visible, as were the VHD files, but the targets were gone.  I looked in the File and Storage Services -> iSCSI but it says 'There are no iSCSI virtual disks', even though the VHD files are clearly there.  When I try to import the already existing ones, it gives me an error because that file already exists in the place I want to put it.  These are very large VHD files so moving them to other storage and then re-importing them could take days, if not longer.  

The iSCSI targets are still visible under 'View All Targets', but they are no longer associated with their VHD files.  How do I reassociate them?  And why did the list of VHD files in File & Storage Services->iSCSI disappear in the first place!?

Thanks for any help!

Dear Support,

We have customer whose marketing department is responsible for about 20TB of image files that are used to make their brochures and also to drive the 3D printers that print the patterns on top of the tiles. In particular, the 3D printer images are big (20-30GB each).

 

The Issue customer has, is that they need to share these files with a number of external partners based around the world. External Parties do the graphics work on these files and then return them to the Marketing Dept for use.

We to need suggest a solution to do this sharing (OneDrive?) , please help with best option,

Should we suggest sharepoint  or some services on Azure,

Thanks and Regards,

Re Enabling a disabled replication group member, without losing data as PreExisting

Hi All - 

We have 2 servers in this scenario

Server1 - Primary. All folder targets point to a share on this server and all prod data is placed here.

Server2 - Data from Server1 is replicated here for DR.

We have three main replication groups setup for this. I discovered a large backlog to Server2 for all three groups, and in investigating, found that on the MEMBERSHIPS tab of the replication group, both servers are set to disabled. 


Checking my head here - To not have all of our prod data on Server1 moved to the pre-existing folder and screw my day, Ill need to enable Server2 first, correct, then after some time, enable Server1?

Thanks!

Probably Already Answered: Best practices for Local storage spaces SSD/HDD VM Storage

January 30, 2017, 1:11 pm

Hi, TLDR: How does storage spaces manage VHD/x's on tiered storage? What are best practices? I have two servers that I have to setup for a small finance firm, both identical, decent network speed between them. Both with same SSD/HDD. They have local attached drives, they don't want to look at expansion options or anything, as they like it all hanging from the ceiling in their storage.

How does hyper-v manage the fast provisioning for the VHD's? Like, if I am creating volumes, what ratio's should I consider for the deployment scenarios.

Should I consider multiple volumes with different HDD/SSD ratio? Or does hyper-v do most of that thinking for me, as an example, say application server has 1TB of records that are frequently accessed, and 10TB that are less-frequently accessed, should I go with 1:10?

How many options should I be considering, how much thinking do I have to do and how much thinking does storage spaces do?

Normally I would just attach all the devices to a VM and cluster it from there, but they requested that everything be on the host.
