Install roles and features

  • Deployment and configuration of an Azure Stack HCI operating system version 22H2 cluster requires enabling specific operating system roles and features.

    Note: Skip this step if the operating system is factory installed.

    Enable the following roles and features:
    • BitLocker
    • Data center bridging (DCB)
    • Failover clustering
    • File server
    • Hyper-V
    • Hyper-V PowerShell
    • RSAT-AD-Clustering-PowerShell module
    • RSAT-AD-PowerShell module
    • NetworkATC
    • Storage-Replica
    • NetworkHUD
    • SMB bandwidth limit

    Run the Get-WindowsFeature PowerShell cmdlet to verify these features: 

    Install-WindowsFeature -Name Hyper-V, NetworkATC, Storage-Replica, NetworkHUD, FS-SMBBW, Failover-Clustering, Data-Center-Bridging, BitLocker, FS-FileServer, RSAT-Clustering-PowerShell, -IncludeAllSubFeature -IncludeManagementTools -verbose
    Note: Hyper-V and the optional roles installation require a system restart. Because subsequent procedures also require a restart, the required restarts are combined into one.

    Note: It is recommended that you do not install FS-Data-Deduplication and Storage-Replica features on the nodes. If installed, there can be performance degradation, even if these features are not enabled.
