Storage Spaces mirror with 2 physical disk. Trying to replace disks. FAILED after second disk removal after regeneration/repair.


hello,

have windows 2012 r2 server storage spaces. trying replace 2 disks in storage spaces pool, 1 disk @ time.

there 2 physical disks in storage spaces pool (physicaldisk1 , physicaldisk2). create virtual disk in pool mirror layout. have tried use available space , have tried use 50 gb of space. , had write data virtual disk. next folloving:

1. remove server physicaldisk1. storage spaces pool becomes degraded. shows physicaldisk1 missing.

2. insert physcaldisk3 (new physical disk replacement) server. add physicaldisk3 storage pool hotspare.

3. wait regeneration job start or manualy start virtual disk repair job.

4. job finishes.

5. mark removed physicaldisk1 retired, remove pool. storage spaces shows pool , virtual disk consistent.

6. remove physicaldisk2 form server , storage pool becomes offline. 

why ? has data copy on physicaldisk3, before removal of physicaldisk2 shows pool in condition, crashes...

why???

hi,

seems going remove physical disk storage pool without inserting new physical disk. not allowed in windows server 2012 or r2. 

design requests replacement. if mirrored virtual disk created, keep working disconnected physical disk , waiting replacement. not able delete 1 of them change structure once created.

best regards,

mandy
