I am running a 2019 S2D Cluster with 4 SSD's and 8 spindles per chassis. There were 2 addl SSDs (1 of which is used for OS, the other is unused at the moment). When setting up the S2D cluster it grabbed all available disk as expected. I went to remove one of the SSDs from the pool and everything seemed to work, however when I ran get-disk I could not find the disk I removed from the S2D pool. Below are my steps...
Disable Auto-pooling on Storage Subsystem, just for good measure
Get-StorageSubSystem Cluster* | Set-StorageHealthSetting -Name "System.Storage.PhysicalDisk.AutoPool.Enabled" -Value False
Retire the disks in question
Get-PhysicalDisk | ? Model -like "250" | ? DeviceID -ne 0 | Set-PhysicalDisk -Usage Retired
Repair the virtual disks (this is a new cluster so there is only the performance metrics on it)
Get-VirtualDisk | Repair-VirtualDisk -Verbose
Check to make sure the job is complete
Get-StorageJob
Remove the Physical Disks
Get-StoragePool S2D* | Remove-PhysicalDisk -PhysicalDisks (Get-PhysicalDisk | ? Model -like "250" | ? DeviceID -ne 0)
Verify the disks are removed from the pool
Get-StoragePool S2D* | Get-PhysicalDisk | ? Model -like "250" | ? DeviceID -ne 0
The disks are not in the S2D pool now we should be able to run Get-Disk and see them right?
Get-Disk
My results show the OS drive and the S2D volume for the ClusterPerformanceHistory...
OS Drive and ClusterPerformanceHistory Drives
Any help would be most appreciated!!!
