It is true that the MD is EOL and that 2016 is the latest supported, but what you can do to try is to first ensure that you enable MPIO on both hosts, then reboot them. After that then you need to install MDSM (must be done in that order), while installing you'll need to include the Host and Providers options or you'll be able to see the access LUNs, but not access the storage. After that then open MPIO and check Discover Multi Paths to see if the MD shows up, if not click Add Support for SAS Devices, then click Add and then reboot. Lastly, with these steps, they must be done locally, and as administrator.

Upon testing I am not able to get it functional either under 2019. I will continue researching it though.
