Can't enable StorageBusCache on Server 2022 | New-StorageBusCacheStore produces "Generic Failure"
Trying to create a tiered storage space on Server 2022 Datacenter - 4x HDDs, 2x SDDs. The following command shows all the correct drives as CanPool, True: PS C:\Users\Administrator> Get-PhysicalDisk Number FriendlyName SerialNumber MediaType CanPool OperationalStatus HealthStatus Usage Size ------ ------------ ------------ --------- ------- ----------------- ------------ ----- ---- 6 Samsung SSD 980 PRO 1TB 0025_38BA_1150_2DE1.

I assume that this failure leads to the proceeding failures on down the line.
