Hello,
given the news that that the free 2node license can´t be install on bare metall hyper-v, but on a VM guest only I do have the following question:
disks for the HA SAN part (not OS, thats a local vhd(x)); passthru as multiple offline single disks or as a RAID Volume if you have a controller?

They are passed as they were, but now you need 2 separate nodes for StarWind. This is the only change.

1) You go bare metal now. for performance and simplify.

2) Two separate nodes (Free, unlimited does N) and build a failover "Shared nothing" SAN and NAS (SMB3 and NFSv4) from that. See updated free product page for details:

Spice works users have access to H/C version still. We'll bring in MVPs and MCTs soon as well.
