Hello,

This is the first I am deploying ASDK in our lab environment using Cisco blade and VMAX All Flash storage.

But asdk precheck is failing with error;

-- Check physical disks failed - At least 4 disks or more of the same bus type (RAID/SAS/SATA), and of capacity 135 GB or higher are strongly recommended.

BusType OperationalStatus HealthStatus Usage Size
------- ----------------- ------------ ----- ----
RAID OK Healthy Auto-Select 600127266816
Fibre Channel OK Healthy Auto-Select 483183820800
Fibre Channel OK Healthy Auto-Select 483183820800
Fibre Channel OK Healthy Auto-Select 483183820800
RAID OK Healthy Auto-Select 600127266816
Fibre Channel OK Healthy Auto-Select 483183820800

BusType showing as Fibre Channel are luns coming from VMAX 450F while RAID are local disks.

I went to below ASDK page and also googled, but could not find that we can use SAN storage for ASDK deployment.

https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure-stack/asdk/asdk-deploy-considerations?view=azs-2005

Only local disks are supported for ASDK deployment ?

Appreciate your help/guidance here ?

Thanks

    Yes, you can only use local disks as this is a requirement for Storage Space Direct which is a core component in Azure Stack.
