SCDPM 2022 Storage issue
So, I'll answer my own question...
No, the disks do not need to be on separate channels.
Not sure if this is new to 2022. But I had to....
Created the virtual disk, on the raid controller..
Open Disk Manager and initialize the disk to GPT.
Create a new volume and format it using ReFS.
I even had to give it a drive letter, so DPM could see it.
This goes against all previous practices and documentation.
I could not find anything telling me to do this. I just happened to read, that since DPM2016 the volume gets formatted to ReFS. But I assumed this was an operation that DPM used, while configuring storage, not that I had to do it myself. Oh well, live and learn.
Hope someone finds this informative and doesn't waste a week, trying to figure it out.
