Now that the Cluster is in place we can start with the basic of the file cluster, the disks need to be sharable so no local disks. If you want to build a file server with local disk only then we should use storage spaces direct, I’ll use this in the next blog post. I format the disk with ReFS as this is the next file structure and has more options than NTFS. ReFS introduces the following improvements: The next iteration of ReFS provides support for large-scale storage deployments with diverse workloads, delivering reliability, resiliency, and scalability for your data. ReFS implements new storage tiers functionality, helping deliver faster performance and increased storage capacity.

Multiple resiliency types on the same virtual disk (using mirroring in the performance tier and parity in the capacity tier, for example).Increased responsiveness to drifting working sets.Support for SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording) media.The introduction of block cloning substantially improves the performance of VM operations, such as.The new ReFS scan tool enables the recovery of leaked storage and helps salvage data from critical corruptions.The disk is formatted and added to the cluster,showing as Available Storage. Our next step would be Adding the File server role to the cluster. The question here is is this a normal file server or do you want to build a sofs cluster. Currently SOFS is only supported for RDS UPD,Hyper-v,SQL. We are sing the file server for general usage. This is a brand new File Server and already broken ? well no reading this error message it said we can’t access the netbios name When adding the file share we see this error “ client access point is not ready to be used for share creation” Now that the file server and the disk is added to the cluster we can start the file Server and add some shares to this Remember this is the netbios name and needs to be in the DNS!ĭefault is a DHCP IP but I assume you will set this to fixed or make this static in the DHCP & DNS We we do properties on the file server you can see there is a DNS failure.
RESTART OPTIONS GREYED OUT SERVER 2016 REGISTRATION
It can’t add the server to the DNS or the registration is not correct.

Server 2016 why is server restart options greyed out registration# When adding the file share you get a couple off options, and lets pick the SMB share Quick option Just make sure the name is in the DNS and a nslookup works. Get the file share location, this would be on the shared disk in the cluster.
