Hozzed Storage Pool

Question

I have a Disk manager reporting a nonexistent disk 0, a Pool Manager reporting a resiliency error and a WD disk warning. I can't backup this pool and have file manager copy issues when I try to manually copy folders to a newly creates and healthy pool. Are there any Pool copy solutions out there or am I stuck with copying those folders that will copy and forget the rest?

Please Advise

Answer 1

Hi,
Could you please post the detailed error information or screenshots?
Please run the following cmd to check the health state of the storage pool:
Get-StoragePool -IsPrimordial $False | Select-Object HealthStatus, OperationalStatus, ReadOnlyReason
Get-physicaldisk
Please check if there is any error id in event viewer.

Thanks for your time!

Answer 2

This is the first window when I open Disk Manager.

When I select GPT or MBR

Them the event log of Admin and System

Next the Pool Manager

followed by the CMD

I haven't been into the detail of a serious debug since the70s i.e. the predecessor to PowerShell and .BAT files. Any pointers to training materials, that is what I'm looking at in the evert logs or Computer management in general would be appreciated.

In your screenshots, one of your physical disks is in lost communication status:
According to the doc Troubleshoot Storage Spaces and Storage Spaces Direct health and operational states:
Lost communication: The drive is missing. If you're using Storage Spaces Direct, this could be because a server is down.
Action: If you're using Storage Spaces Direct, bring all servers back online. If that doesn't fix it, reconnect the drive, replace it, or try getting detailed diagnostic info about this drive by following the steps in Troubleshooting using Windows Error Reporting > Physical disk timed out.

Answer 4

I reseated power and SATA connectors and seem to be in the same fix. I attempted a back-up and nada, as before. I then started a manual backup via a 4TB SSD connected via USB 3.0 adapter which brought on more debugging delights as this SSD wouldn't stay mounted until I disconnected it from the blue and connected to a white connector. I'm assuming there's a difference in the power supplied and there's a spec somewhere WRT this color coding. After that I proceeded, via File Explorer, to copy the bad pool directories while getting the following:

Which brings me to copy CMD questions.

Are there any that will copy a corrupt directory tree?
Are there any that will copy a corrupt directory tree and ignore the above error so I can easily glean what can be copied.
And can it, if the above is possible, be merged into this new copy of what I've already managed to recover?
