Cannot remove Retired drive from Storage Spaces.


i have drive in storage space set retired ages ago.

got around picking replacement drive , added storage space.

there more enough room in pool relocate data on retired drive. however, when attempt remove it, following error:

can't remove drive pool

drive not removed because not data reallocated. add additional drive pool , reattempt operation.

suggestions? i'm @ complete loss here. none of commands working in powershell either.

hi,

in server manager, please right click virtual disk, click properties, click details, in property drop-down box choose numberofcolumns. number of disks added in storage space extending virtual disk equals numberofcolumns * numberofdatacopies.

more detailed information, please see:
