Edit: Sorry for the premature question, after diving deep in the PowerShell commandlets regarding storage spaces I’ve been able to set the number of columns for the HDD Tier of the tiered storace space.
The following two commands need to be executed after creating the disk pool:
$SSD = New-StorageTier -StoragePoolFriendlyName Pool -FriendlyName SSD_Tier -ResiliencySettingName Simple -NumberOfColumns 1 -MediaType SSD
$SSD = New-StorageTier -StoragePoolFriendlyName Pool -FriendlyName HDD_Tier -ResiliencySettingName Simple -NumberOfColumns 2 -MediaType HDD
The rest should work the same.
Hello there! First of all thanks for PowerShell commands for setting up tiered storage.
I’ve been using a simple two-disc striped storage spaces volume to great success for quite a while, but recently an extra 128GB SSD has become available.
The PowerShell commands listed here are seemingly either for 1 or two disks in each tier, but might it also be possible to both use the two disks in the HDD tier in parallel (like in the 2 column simple volume) whilst also using one SSD in the SSD tier?
So far I haven’t been able to find an answer, and my PowerShell-fu is not the best it could be (yet). This forum, and it’s community seemed to be the most knowledgeable and the best place to ask
