Cannot create new storage pool on Windows 11, access problem

Question

Running in a power shell with Admin privileges (How do I check).

Was able to create storage pool with the GUI, but it does not provide double party. I tried creating a virtual disk on command line, with the GUI storage pool, and got a similar error: Access Denied

The goal is to a virtual disk with double parity (6 drives).

PS C:\Users\***> $Pdisk = (get-physicaldisk -canpool $true)                                                       

PS C:\Users\***> new-storagepool -Friendlyname special -StorageSubSystemFriendlyName "Windows Storage*" -Physicaldisks $Pdisk

Answer 1

The instance of power shell did not have admin rights, even though it created by right clicking the start button and selecting "Widows PowerShell (Admin)".

Problem solved by using "Terminal (Admin)".
