I'm trying to build out some RAID arrays on a Windows 2022 server using Storage Spaces. I have 6 HDDs in a DAS enclosure connected to the computer via USB. Per the Get-PhysicalDisk utility, 4 of them have CanPool = true (the other 2 are, for the moment, in use as stand-alones).
However, only one of these drives appears in the Primordial Storage Pool. All of them show a HealthStatus of "Healthy" and OperationalStatus of "OK". None of the drives in question have any Volumes...it's all "Unallocated" space. All of them are set to "Fixed" by selecting "Better performance" in the Disk Device Properties. All are initialized and "Online". As far as I can tell, the Primordial pool should have 4 physical disks in it, but it only has 1.
This device also has a Storage Spaces RAID array using 7 internal disks, as well, that I set up earlier today.
Also, if I click "Rescan storage", the Primordial Storage Pool goes away until I restart the File and Storage Services application.
Anybody got any ideas?
