I have at 2TB disk once used in a storage pool. I have run diskpart clean, and in diskmanager it is visable and also in the Storage Spaces manager under disks. But it does not show up ind the Storage Pool under physical disks "Tasks" to add it to the pool

In the storage pool after a rescan and refresh, im still not able to add it as the add Physical disk is "greyed out" 

I tried using it as a normal disk in diskmanager and it works fine, and after this I deleted the disk volume and did a reset in the storage spaces manager

I have tried 3 other 2TB disks also previously used in a Storage pool on the same server and they are visable in the disk manager and in the Storage Pool manager and are selectable for adding to the pool,

How do I get the 2TB disk into the Staorage pool ?

Kind regrds

Hi Dddie,

Please run the PowerShell command get-physicaldisk to see if the physical drive is listed.

Some other disks configurations such as using dynamic disks or disk associated to a windows server cluster storage will also mark the physical disk as not appropriate to be added to a storage pool.

For more detailed information, please see:
