I am creating a new SQL cluster to replace out old cluster. I created a new, two server cluster running Server 2022. I am told I need to add the disk to the cluster before I can install our SQL server software. I created a new volume in our PowerStore. The servers in the cluster can see the drive in Disk Management. They are online and visible in File Explorer. I then used the Failover Cluster Manager and revalidated the configuration. When I expand Storage and right-click Disks, to add disks, it says there are no suitible disk.FCM_add disk

    I have 4 Dell PowerEdge R760 server and ME5024 storage with 2 controllers (SAS connections) all servers are connected to the storage with mini SAS cables , i configured the a cluster, and all node are up even the storage we added and was visible but when i come back after 2 days i saw that the cluster storage was unavailable and when i try to bring it back it failed ,then i removed it on the cluster and try to add the disk again then i received this message: (No disks suitable for cluster disks were found. For diagnostic information about disks available to the cluster, use the Validate a Configuration Wizard to run Storage tests.)
