DDC setup does not showup virtual machine storage?

While performing configuration of Citrix XenDesktop we found that there were no storage resource available to assign for virtual machine manager. Here we are trying to integrate System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 with XenDesktop 5.6

So there are few pre-requisite for storage to showup and this need to configured via SCVMM and Hyper-V host. Here we need to insure that for EVERY host placement is defined as show below

 

And for same path which is under placement sharing is enabled

Once this done you can view storage under virtual machine storage.

How to setup Quorum for fail over cluster for Hyper-V

While configuring quorum for Hyper-V fail over cluster

It gave message that "No quorum witness has been configured for the cluster"

This was because quorum disk which was presented were not formatted . So formatted and assigned the drive letter Q

As soon it was added under cluster manager ->  storage, it was available

Now when I ran cluster configuration again it shown up under storage

Finally this configuration will finish

Hyper V VM high availability grayed out

I came across situation where VM created via non SCVMM had HA grayed out (Currently below screenshot is for reference)

While doing migration it was throwing error 23001 - cannot create or update a non highly available storage.

To fix this perform the migration again using following box "Make this VM highly available"

After migration this will become highly available.  

Cannot create or update a non highly available VM -Error (23001)

This is the first time when I have created virtual machine using SCVMM. While creating VM it throws error

This seems like you can not use cluster resource till you define the resource as highly available. After checking  option "Make this virtual machine highly available" VM creation went through.
