Description
The Reset-PhysicalDisk cmdlet resets the status of a physical disk. For Storage spaces, this is a destructive operation that removes the Storage pool configuration and pool data from the specified physical disk.
If you run Reset-PhysicalDisk on a physical disk that appears as lost communication or split, this cmdlet attempts to re-integrate the disk into the Storage pool if the disk is discoverable. After you reset a physical disk, use Repair-VirtualDisk to restore its resiliency.
If you run Reset-PhysicalDisk on a disk that is not a part of a Storage pool, the operation clears any lingering Storage spaces data and metadata.
Examples
EXAMPLE 1
PS C:\> Reset-PhysicalDisk -FriendlyName "PhysicalDisk5"
This example resets the state of a specific physical disk.
EXAMPLE 2
$BadDisks = Get-Physicaldisk | Where-Object -FilterScript {$_.HealthStatus -Eq "Unhealthy"}
Foreach ($BadDisk in $BadDisks)
{
Reset-PhysicalDisk -UniqueId $BadDisk.UniqueId
}
This example resets all of the unhealthy physical disks.
