Cannot attach virtual disk from storage pool

Question

When attempting to attach a virtual disk from a storage pool it fails with no specific error message.

Here is what I see when I attempt to attach it from powershell:

PS C:\Windows\system32> connect-virtualdisk -FriendlyName f_disk -Verbose

connect-virtualdisk : Failed

Activity ID: {e864c349-8912-4c43-912d-6873cb3a7e1c}

At line:1 char:1

• connect-virtualdisk -FriendlyName f_disk -Verbose

• 
      + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (StorageWMI:ROOT/Microsoft/...SFT_VirtualDisk) [Connect-VirtualDisk], CimE
  
     xception
  
      + FullyQualifiedErrorId : StorageWMI 4,Connect-VirtualDisk
  
  

Has anyone seen this before, and if so how was this resolved?

Answer 1

Hi,

Please try disabling the disks from being automatically added to the failover cluster. Open PowerShell as administrator and run

Get-StorageSubSystem | Set-StorageSubSystem -AutomaticClusteringEnabled:$false

Best Regards,
