Microsoft S2D on Dell PowerEdge R750xs
Hi,
One of our customer has 2x PowerEdge R750xs servers with below configuration on which they are willing to deploy Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct (they already have windows server 2019 DC OLP licenses).
Please advise if this is doable on below hardware or if they need to make any changes?

Hello Ammar Siddiqui,
This article provides information about supported firmware and drivers that have been validated for Dell EMC Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct Ready Nodes and AX nodes. It does not list the R750xs
https://dell.to/3lldgmi
It looks like R750xs has not been validated for S2D.
Your PowerEdge R750xs supports these operating systems:

This may be a good resource for you : Dell Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct Ready Nodes
PowerEdge R440, R640, R740xd

You may want to contact your sales representative and consult to spec out a S2D compatible system. On the forum we support break/fix issues so it may be best to contact them.
