About this tag
Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) discussions on WindowsForum.com focus on Microsoft's Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) and Windows Server Failover Clustering. Topics include mixed topologies where S2D-backed CSVs coexist with traditional SAN LUNs, enabling gradual modernization. Users also seek practical guidance on replacing failing disks in HCI nodes built with Hyper-V and hardware like HPE DL380 servers. These threads reflect real-world deployment and maintenance challenges in hyperconverged environments, emphasizing storage management, cluster operations, and hardware lifecycle tasks within Windows Server-based HCI setups.
