I created a 2-node failover cluster in my Hyper-V environment.
My concern here is that when I RAN:
Format-Volume -DriveLetter D
The D drives on both nodes were formatted.
When I ran Get-Volume on one of the nodes, I noticed that my D & E drives on each node was listed twice.
I noticed that 'Storage Replica' was added as a Cluster Resource Type and that the following device is installed:
Microsoft ClusPort HBA
Which some cursory research says:
"The Software Storage Bus (SSB) is a virtual storage bus spanning all the servers that make up the cluster. SSB essentially makes it possible for each server to see all disks across all servers in the cluster providing full mesh connectivity. SSB consists of two components on each server in the cluster; ClusPort and ClusBlft. ClusPort implements a virtual HBA that allows the node to connect to disk devices in all the other servers in the cluster. ClusBlft implements virtualization of the disk devices and enclosures in each server for ClusPort in other servers to connect to."
Is this by design? Is there a way to disable this? How do we fix this?
