Issues Creating Storage Pool / Virtual Disk under Win Server 2022

Reported by: iv3l.nuh Owned by:
Component: guest control Version: VirtualBox-7.1.4
Keywords: debian windows server eval Cc:
Guest type: Windows Host type: Linux

Description

Running the latest debian bookworm 12.8 as host os Running the latest vbox 7.1.4 with or without GE Used the Latest Eval Edition of Win SErver 2022

After installing the latest evaluation edition of win server on either vdi or vhd -> using file server, we cannot add multiple disks and use them in a storage pool in parallel, nor to create mirrored virtual disks. I have been tinkering around with everything, it is impossible. I believe that it is a compatibility issue between VBOX and win server. Probably due to the identical naming of FriendlyName and UniqueID of all virtual box disks. So the device IDs are different and the pnp and UUID are different too. However windows uses the Friendly Name and UniqueID to create these pools.

I was playing around with powershell to see if we could override the issue. We can somewhat by creating one big storage pool from two disks. It is because the system recolonises them as one big storage, instead of two parallel RAID like disks. Consequently we cannot mount them mirrored for redundancy.

When doing the same, without powershell, simply in WinGUI but in VMWARE, all goes flawlessly, like it should be ! Zero hickups ! This is why I believe that it is possibly a VBOX disk creation / Naming issue.
