Is this intended for use with shared storage (fc/iscsi attached) hyperv clusters or only for HCI clusters? It seems that this for HCI but maybe I’m missing something?

Hi Andrew_Allston - This is designed for all types of virtualization infrastructure. By changing the view to the storage view, you should be able to see SAN, NAS, or HCI devices (HCI will live both in compute and storage views). These can be onboarded to vMode through the same add resource wizard and selecting the storage profile. I didn't go into too much detail on this but please see the section labelled, What is Windows Admin Center: Virtualization Mode. In the video montage, you can briefly see storage devices in the hierarchy when the views change.
Note: As this is a preview, there is limited functionality. We're bringing out additional SAN and NAS integration in PP2 scheduled for early spring.

Thanks Dan, I guess my confusion comes from the Network ATC stuff. And in that montage, they select only management adapters, which just confuses me since they select the compute, storage and management as the intent. I still feel like I'm missing something, and I'm not sure if it's because it's a preview or it's me. When the SAN features get added, will the storage intent requirement be removed?
