Creating storage pool problem

Post by Zijad_Sarajevo »

Hi, I'm new here and i have a problem that i encountered during my training for windows server 2019, which i ran through oracle Virtual Box manager. Namely, now i need to create a disk pool, and I'm not sure why out of the two created disks, only one disk appears in the VB manager when i want to create a disk pool on the Windows server.

Did i make a mistake when creating virtual disks in VB manager? I would like someone to help me configure the "disk pool" properly (starting with disk configuration in VM Virtualbox, and also in File and Storage Services i WS 2019) so that it can continue the exercises. Here is the attached picture, if i didn't explain it well enough. I thank you.

In VirtualBox:
Make sure you have created two separate virtual disks:
Open VirtualBox Manager > Select your VM > Settings > Storage.
Add new virtual hard disks for each drive needed (e.g., by selecting "Controller: SATA" and adding new disks).
On Windows Server 2019:
Open File and Storage Services > Storage Pools.
Ensure both disks are visible. If not, they may not be properly attached in VirtualBox or initialized.
Initialize both disks if needed, and create your storage pool using these disks.
