Cannot attach virtual disk from storage pool

Sep 7, 2024, 12:20 AM

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?

    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,
