Is it possible to present csv volumes from a F/C SAN to an S2D or Azure Stack HCI cluster, like you would to a traditional Hyper-V cluster, and use those volumes alongside (in addition to) the S2D pool made up of local disks?
I realize that this scenario may not be "recommended" by Microsoft; I am asking if this is possible to configure, provided there are proper HBAs in the server.

    I would say yes, I don't see why it wouldn't work, it's still just a regular cluster

    I was just watching that video and it sounds like enabling S2D will actually prevent you from connecting to any SAN storage at all : https://youtu.be/uPzDFD3kMKQ?t=720
