I am installing Server 2019 Core on a Dell server. These are the drives I have:
Get-StoragePool -IsPrimordial $true | Get-PhysicalDisk | Where-Object CanPool -eq $True
DeviceId FriendlyName MediaType CanPool OperationalStatus
-------- ------------ --------- ------- -----------------
4 Dell Express Flash PM1725a 1.6TB AIC SSD True OK
1 DELL PERC H740P Adp SSD True OK
2 DELL PERC H740P Mini SSD True OK
3 Dell Express Flash PM1725a 1.6TB AIC SSD True OK
DeviceIds
of 3
and 4
are NVMe drives while DeviceIds
of 1
and 2
are SSDs. Using powershell, what commands do I need to use in order to create a Storage Pool
that uses the NVMe drives as caching for the SSD drives?
It looks like I will need a combination of New-StoragePool
, Add-PhysicalDisk
, and New-VirtualDisk
, but I am not sure what options to use to accomplish my goal.
Do the NVMe
drives need to be set as SCM
for MediaType
?
I also want to use ReFS
as the filesystem because it will be used for Veeam
backups.
