Implementing and Managing Storage Spaces Direct
In this chapter, we will learn how to configure Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) and then manage S2D within a failover cluster. We will also discuss how to upgrade an S2D node, as well as implement proper security and networking configurations for S2D while discovering topics such as converged and hyper-converged deployments.
This chapter will include exercises on how to implement and manage S2D components and workloads on-premises, with hybrid components and services, and in the cloud consistent with the AZ-801 exam objectives.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Technical requirements and lab setup
- Introduction to Storage Spaces Direct (S2D)
- Implementing networking for S2D
- Deploying S2D on Windows Server
- Upgrading an S2D cluster node
