- Single 10 GbE network adapter. Each computer is configured with a 10 GbE network adapter, which is RSS-capable or RDMA-capable.Dual 1 GbE network adapters configured in a team. Each computer is configured with two 1 gigabit Ethernet network adapters in a load balancing and failover environment, also known as a network adapter team.Dual 1 GbE network adapters. Each computer is configured with dual 1 gigabit Ethernet network adapters.Dual 10 GbE network adapters. Each computer is configured with dual 10 GbE network adapters. These adapters could also be RSS-capable and/or RDMA-capable.Dual Infiniband network adapters. Each computer is configured with dual Infiniband network adapters. These adapters are typically RDMA-capable.You should ensure that the cluster node name is registered by using DNS dynamic update protocol. This should include the name of the Scale-Out File Server and the IP addresses of all of the network adapters in every cluster node on the client network.RSS-capable and/or RDMA-capable network adapters, you can verify that these capabilities are being properly detected.Make sure both Allow cluster network communication on this network and the checkbox next to Allow clients to connect through this network are selected.
- File Server & Failover Clustering
- Configure constraint delegation in Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in. When enabled, constrained delegation gives you the ability to use a specific SMB remote file share without requiring you to perform an action on any computer. Constrained delegation tells Active Directory Users and Computers that between two computers, (in this case, the Hyper-V server and the SMB file server), and for specific services, (in this case, SMB), it is allowed to re-issue access to the resources.

- Log on to the server as a member of the local Administrators group.Click Start, type Failover Cluster, and then click Failover Cluster Manager.Right-click the cluster, and then click Configure Role.On the Before You Begin page, click Next.On the Select Role page, click File Server, and then click Next.On the File Server Type page, select the Scale-Out File Server for application data option, and then click Next.On the Client Access Point page, in the Name box, type a NETBIOS name that will be used to access Scale-Out File Server, and then click Next.On the Confirmation page, confirm your settings, and then click Next.On the Summary page, click Finish.
- You must create a file share on the cluster shared volume by using Failover Cluster Manager.To create a continuously available file share on the cluster shared volumeLog on to the server as a member of the local Administrators group.Click Start, type Failover Cluster, and then click Failover Cluster Manager.Expand the cluster, and then click Roles.Right-click the file server role, and then click Add File Share.On the Select the profile for this share page, click SMB Share – Applications, and then click Next.On the Select the server and path for this share page, click the cluster shared volume, and then click Next.On the Specify share name page, in the Share name box, type a name, and then click Next.On the Configure share settings page, ensure that the Enable continuous availability check box is selected, and then click Next.NoteYou should not use access-based enumeration on file shares for Scale-Out File Server because of the increased metadata traffic that is generated on the coordinator node.On the Specify permissions to control access page, click Customize permissions, grant the following permissions, and then click Next:If you are using this Scale-Out File Server file share for Hyper-V, all Hyper-V computer accounts, the SYSTEM account, and all Hyper-V administrators must be granted full control on the share and the file system.If you are using Scale-Out File Server on Microsoft SQL Server, the SQL Server service account must be granted full control on the share and the file system.On the Confirm selections page, click Create.On the View results page, click Close.

- og on to the server as a member of the local Administrators group.Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the shared folder.Right-click the folder, and then click Properties.Click the Sharing tab, click Advanced Sharing, and then click Permissions.Ensure that the Hyper-V computer accounts, the SYSTEM account, and all Hyper-V administrators have full control permissions.Click OK twice.Click the Security tab.Ensure that the Hyper-V computer accounts, the SYSTEM account, and all Hyper-V administrators have full control permissions.
