Hello! I'm working with a 2-node Windows Server 2022 Hyper-V S2D Cluster (we'll call the nodes HV1 and HV2). There are 8 x 4TB NVMe drives per server, and 2 CSVs (two-way mirror/CSVFS_ReFS) used for VM data storage.

HV1 had a physical disk lose connection and was subsequently auto-retired. The storage pool (fixed) and both CSVs are shown to be healthy and online.

I have a replacement drive on hand, but I'd like to also attemp to re-seat the existing failed/retired drive in case it was actually just a connection issue. How do I safely go about this, while also keeping the cluster up and running?
