    Hello there,

    You may be unable to provision replication on a volume that was previously replicated or may find unmountable volumes. Disks can remain offline when replication isn't removed or when you reinstall the operating system on a computer that was previously replicating data.

    To fix, you must clear the hidden Storage Replica partition off the disks and return them to a writeable state using the Clear-SRMetadata cmdlet.

    Hope this resolves your Query !!

    Hi,

    The problem may be caused by the disk was added to the cluster did not create a new simple volume on the disk, or after joining the cluster and then create a new simple volume caused by the format error, you can remove the disk in the cluster, in the disk management on the disk to re-create a new simple volume, and then finally in the cluster added to the disk will be able to find the disk in the storage replica.

    Best Regards,

    Ian Xue
