So an issue I am running into is that I have a Storage Pool using S2D created, it shows less than 2 GB used up... but when I go to run the virtual disk wizard, it has Free Space: 0.00 GB for both performance and capacity tier. Due to this, Any value I specify says it goes beyond the available resources.

Do they need to be formatted? Do I need to run some other powershell command to make them do their thing?

Virtual disk wizard Free space 0.00 GB

    Did you configure S2D properly? Do you have the same (and enough!) amount of disks added to S2D pool on each node? How many nodes / disks / SSDs do you have? – BaronSamedi1958 May 01 '19 at 11:47
  • 4 disks, 1 per node, all VHDDs. I ended up removing them all and re-adding them again (didn't change the setup) and creating the pool on a different VM using powershell. Command was (paraphrased) New-Volume -FriendlyName "ClustervDisk0" -FileSystem CSVFS_ReFS -StoragePoolFriendlyName Cluster* -usemaximumsize -ResiliencySettingName Parity -PhysicalDiskRedundancy 2 – Manchuwook May 10 '19 at 00:06

I ended up using powershell on a different machine in the cluster after removing and re-adding the VHDs:

New-Volume -FriendlyName "ClustervDisk0" -FileSystem CSVFS_ReFS -StoragePoolFriendlyName Cluster* -usemaximumsize -ResiliencySettingName Parity -PhysicalDiskRedundancy 2

Unfortunately, I don't know how much this will help others because it might be very specific to my installation. The command above was for 2 500GB VHDDs and 2 250GB VHDDs, with 1 drive per cluster node.
