I have 2 windows 2016 servers and 2 exactly same size disks connected via hba adapter to these 2 servers. When i run Test-SRTopology it always fails with error whic is these 2 disks doesn t have same sector size. Who can help me about this ?

I created these 2 disks with New-Partition powershell command because i saw an article in known issues but it didn t work as well. FYI.

    I have already read all FAQ in microsoft site and there is no solution for this situation. In my case as you see in the picture my disks W and E are exactly same size and sector when i checked with msinfo32 application in windows. But test and new-srpartnership doesn t work. Always gives same error. And i don t understand why no error for 25 gb log disks because they are also in same storage and same connection.28420-replica-error.jpg

    Hi,

    I did the same test in my lab, I got the same error with yours. it seems that our disk must have the same disk sector size.

    And I also see the same issue here:
