I have a thin provisioned virtual disk comprising of three physical disks that is showing as degraded:
PS C:\> Get-VirtualDisk "Data" | fl FriendlyName,*Status FriendlyName : Data OperationalStatus : Degraded HealthStatus : Warning PS C:\> Get-PhysicalDisk FriendlyName CanPool OperationalStatus HealthStatus Usage Size ------------ ------- ----------------- ------------ ----- ---- Disk 1 False OK Healthy Auto-Select 2.73 TB Disk 2 False OK Healthy Auto-Select 2.73 TB PhysicalDisk0 False OK Healthy Auto-Select 40 GB Disk 3 False OK Healthy Auto-Select 2.73 TB
When attempting to repair the disk with "Repair-VirtualDisk" the process errors out at 0%:
PS C:\> Repair-VirtualDisk "Data" -Verbose Repair-VirtualDisk : Failed At line:1 char:1+ Repair-VirtualDisk "Data" -Verbose+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (StorageWMI:ROOT/Microsoft/...SFT_VirtualDisk) [Repair-VirtualDisk], CimEx ception+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : StorageWMI 4,Repair-VirtualDisk
I can create a new virtual disk in addition to the existing one on the same three disks and no health warnings occur. I have installed KB3000123 and KB 2914743 which have been recommended elsewhere but saw no improvement.
I'm keen to avoid having to move the data to a new virtual disk, or backup and restore.
