Hello, So I have Nimble storage connected to FailOver Cluster in Windows 2012 R2 with 3 host servers. There was an issue this morning and the cluster was unstable. I evicted one of the Host servers and have the cluster running on 2 hosts. Issue I'm having is we have 4 volumes on the Nimble and currently Windows sees the mapping info for only 3 out of the 4. Looking at Windows Disk Manager and same 3 out of 4 have Volume labels on them. Checked iScsi Initiator and it's connected and it sees it just can't get the volume info to populate. Tried disconnecting it in iScsi Initiator but it didn't work since it said the connection was in use. Because it doesn't have the volume label it's not mapped anywhere and I have a vm file sitting on that volume. Any other suggestions or help would be appreciated.

So I inherited a hyper-v setup with a newly installed Nimble on it. I'm new to SAN storage and still learning but reading the manual it suggests that I split out the SQL VM's DB VHDX to it's own Volume Collection and connect it directly to the VM through a virtual switch. So the question is for the virtual switch can it use the same iSCSI initiator that the host is using without causing any issues on it? Sorry very new to this and still trying to read through everything. any help would be appreciated.
