12. • industry-standard servers with local storage
• create storage pools on this storage
• place VM workloads on top of it
• steps:
– use VMM to create cluster
– check the S2D checkbox
– a hyper-converged cluster with
a global pool and up to two tiers
(capacity and performance)
is provisioned
– create CSV for use as VM storage
