class=\"Publishwithline\">Storage Tiers allow for use of SSD and hard drive storage within the same storage pool as a new feature in Windows Server 2012 R2.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve not read Jose Barreto\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.technet.com\/b\/josebda\/archive\/2013\/08\/28\/step-by-step-for-storage-spaces-tiering-in-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx\">Step-by-step<\/a> post on this subject already, it is a great source for links about Storage Tiers as well as a fantastic place to find examples of how to use PowerShell cmdlets to implement Storage Tiers with Storage Spaces.\u00a0 \u00a0In this episode, I\u2019m going to show you how to implement Storage Tiers using mostly the UI.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not familiar with Storage Tiers, the idea is to be able to mix Solid State Disk (SSD) storage with conventional disks (HDD).\u00a0 However, Storage Tiers provides the ability to store more frequently accessed data on SSD media\u2026with both types of media used as block based storage for the same virtual disk: the best of both types of storage.\u00a0\u00a0 That\u2019s a pretty high level summary\u2026and a pretty awesome concept.\u00a0 Previously, in my basement lab I had two different pools:\u00a0 one for each type of storage.<\/p>\n<p>If implementing tiers using PowerShell, some calculations may be required\u2026and it looks a bit complicated if you\u2019re just attempting to try out.\u00a0\u00a0 Granted, below are quite a few screen shots and this is a lengthy post.\u00a0 However, the process using the UI is fairly easy.\u00a0\u00a0 I made one diversion into PowerShell to show how to define MediaTypes for storage devices if they\u2019re not detected automatically.\u00a0 The technique I use for that is very similar to Jose\u2019s example but is another variation to show that you\u2019re not limited to just one technique.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve read my recent post about <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.technet.com\/b\/askpfeplat\/archive\/2013\/09\/25\/storage-spaces-understanding-expansion.aspx\">expanding a storage pool<\/a>, you may have a better understanding of how Storage Spaces uses <em>columns<\/em>.\u00a0 Using the UI to configure Storage Tiers will attempt to use the defaults for the number of columns.\u00a0 Using some quick and easy PowerShell during the creation process, you may change the column defaults for a specific storage pool.<\/p>\n<p>Remember: If you have difficulty reading any of the screenshots below, you can obtain a full size image by clicking on them.<\/p>\n<h1>Creating Tiered Storage<\/h1>\n<p>1. The first step involves attaching the devices you intend to use.\u00a0 You must have at least one SSD and one physical drive attached.\u00a0\u00a0 For this example, I chose 4 SSD devices, and 9 1 TB drives.\u00a0\u00a0 This is indeed an odd arrangement but I\u2019ve chosen it with a purpose: to show the layout of a defined virtual disk, and to show that Storage Spaces will use what it can from this arrangement and leave remaining space for other uses.\u00a0\u00a0 In this example, I\u2019ve connected the devices and can see them within Server Manager.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a
