Dear Sir,
With Windows Server 2016 Datacenter edition, I've configured storage space direct (S2D) and it works on 3 x server (1 + 3 HDD per server).
For some reasons, I want to re-install the OS. What I did is to re-install the OS HDD but forget to do something on S2D HDD (3 x HDD) before re-installing the OS. When OS is installed completely, I found those 3 x HDD is treated "offline". I saw
the partition is with "Storage Space protective partition" marked in Computer Management - Disk Management.
Test I.
=========================================
I've tried below in PowerShell with administrator privilege
diskpart
list disk
select disk <number>
clean
But got the message "diskpart has encountered an error access is denied".
I can saw "*" mark in GPT field when list disk with diskpart. The status is offline.
But cannot make them on-line with diskpart command.
Test II.
=======================================
It is not work either go through Disk Management GUI. It responsed ""virtual disk manager" "access is denied" if I right-click them and select "Online"
It seems the previously S2D settings is still remained in those HDD so that they cannot be on-lined or do anything on them.
Do you have any idea? How to clear the previously setting on those HDD?
