If this was a single disk, I could imagine that it had failed. However, this was nearly every disk in the JBOD and spanned HDD and SSD. Something else was up \u2013 probably Windows Server 2016 or some firmware had threw a wobbly and wasn\u2019t wrapping up some task.<\/p>\n
The solution was to run Reset-PhysicalDisk. The example on docs.microsoft.com<\/a> was incorrect, but adding a foreach loop fixed things:<\/p>\n $phydisk = (Get-Physicaldisk | Where-Object -FilterScript {$_.HealthStatus -Eq “Unknown”})<\/p>\n foreach ($item in $phydisk) A few seconds later, things looked a lot better:<\/p>\n I was then able to create the new pool and virtual disks (witness + CSVs) in Failover Cluster Manager.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In this post, I\u2019ll explain how I fixed a situation where most of my Storage Spaces JBOD disks were missing in Disk Management and Get-PhysicalDisk showed their OperationalStatus as being stuck on \u201cStarting\u201d.
