    Summary: All disks have the same FriendlyName when using LSI 9210-8i in Server 2016

    I have 3 Raid1 arrays set in LSI's Array Configuration, which Server 2016 can see. I was able to create a storage pool without issue. The FriendlyName for all disks are set to Adaptec Array, and Disk Type (Media Type) is set to Unknown. I've attempted to rename the disks, and set the disk type, through Powershell using the UniqueID as stated in this article: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh848651(v=wps.630).aspx

    The change fails with the following:

    PS C:\Users\Administrator> Get-PhysicalDisk | ft FriendlyName, UniqueId, Size –auto

FriendlyName  UniqueId                                       Size
------------  --------                                       ----
Adaptec Array {3a76e346-2afd-a854-7d27-00810979d840}  99918807040
Adaptec Array {a0b13300-8976-afdc-f507-1658080cb088} 999385202688
Adaptec Array {f0b51eb9-a092-4835-7648-5194d1ed6eac} 127775277056

PS C:\Users\Administrator> Set-PhysicalDisk -UniqueId {3a76e346-2afd-a854-7d27-00810979d840} -MediaType  SSD
Set-PhysicalDisk : Cannot evaluate parameter 'UniqueId' because its argument is specified as a script block and there is no

    The storage pool has been created. I'm attempting to create a virtual disk with storage tiers, but with the disk type as unknown the check box is greyed out.

    Hi,

    The uniqueid is a string:

    -UniqueId
Specifies the UniqueID of the physical disk on which to set attributes.
Type: String
Parameter Sets: ByUniqueId
Aliases: Id
Required: True
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False

    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/powershell/windows/storage/set-physicaldisk

    Try this:

    Set-PhysicalDisk -UniqueId "3a76e346-2afd-a854-7d27-00810979d840" -MediaType  SSD

    Or this：

    Get-PhysicalDisk | select UniqueId | Set-PhysicalDisk -MediaType SSD

    Best regards,

    Andy
