If there was a alternative, I might even use that as Im receiving 0 replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Umfriend Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 AFAIK, Stablebit is a small company and forum support may be out for a bit. Having said that, Hyper-V Server 2019, or any other 2019 Server, is not listed on https://stablebit.com/DrivePool/Download so even though it may run (I suspect it will) it is not officially supported as such. On Server 2019 with Essentials Role, there is no such thing. 2019 Essentials does not have the dashboard, anywhere access, client backups etc. at all. Basically, 2019 Essentials is a Foundation type edition. IMHO, it is worthless. Server 2019 does not come with the Essentials Experience / Role at all.

0 srcrist Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Covecube is, as far as I know, two people. And also as far as I know, the forums aren't an official support channel, though Christopher and Alex do respond here from time to time. If you have urgent questions you'd be better off submitting a support ticket, not complaining because other users aren't responding to you quickly enough in the discussion forum. You can find the contact form here: https://stablebit.com/Contact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be better to make a section for paying members only support but.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Philmatic Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Are you asking if DrivePool is compatible on a Hyper-V guest running on a Hyper-V host? If so, yes. I run it this way and it works fine, you just have to pass each disk individually and the guest OS (With DrivePool) sees it just fine. In fact, I went form a full physical setup on Server 2012 and Virtualized Server 2019 on Hyper-V, passed all the disks (Was a huge pain, not being able to pass thru controllers is a huge PITA, VMWare FTW here) and DrivePool picked up the entire pool (32 disks) within a minute or so and that was it. Or are you asking if DrivePool is compatible with the Hyper-V Hypervisor itself (Either in Hyper-V Server or Server Core with the Hyper-V role) as in you want to pool drives inside the Hypervisor and present them as large disks to guests? I've tried this, and it DOES work, but it's not a good idea. DrivePool is not a traditional RAID technology can isn't well suited for large random writes, it's just not recommended. It's best to pass the disk individually and let DrivePool on the guest pool everything together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Sorry. Yes, there should be no issue running any of our products on either the host or guest systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Philmatic, sorry for bumping an old thread, I thought controller passthrough is possible already on server 2019? https://www.reddit.com/r/HyperV/comments/bc3vvc/pcie_passthrough_possible_with_a_hba/ Have you tried it? If it does passthrough the SMART status as well then it's probably the better method Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
