Disk quorum for Hyper-V in MD3200i
Guys, I'm a project to run Hyper-V Server 2012, which will set up a two-node failover cluster, the storage will be the MD3200i - iSCSI. We know that cluster of Hyper-V or Windows Server asks configuring a quorum disk, a disk with 10GB for example, is a good size, but how to create a LUN of 10GB if storage has 10 1TB SAS disks?
Or am I forced to use at least one of these 1TB disks, create a LUN and use as a quorum?
Thank you!

What you would want to do is create a disk group that will include all of the drives. Then you would create however many virtual disks you need from that. For example once you create the disk group you can create the 10GB Quorum VD and make it shared between the hosts. Then you can create another virtual disk for the data to be saved at.

Ok, I understand what must be done. I will create a LUN with 04 1TB disks, RAID-5, so I will have 3TB free, only when creating the virtual disk, I set the size to 2.9TB.
And then leave 100GB free to create a second LUN for the quorum disk.
I had forgotten that when we create a LUN, we can set a specific size for the same, it is not mandatory to use the entire space of the sum of disks.
Thank you!
