need help with adding folder to drivepool

[chrisnasah]

Hi,

 

I have about 1TB on storage I would like to add to drivepool, for some reason using the windows server utility to move folder fails after 30%.

 

I have made this drive part of the pool, is there a easier way of making storage on that drive part of the pool after which I can then remove the drive from the pool?

 

Any advice....

 

Thanks

Do you mean that you have the shared folders on the drive, and you want to move it into the pool?

 

 

If so check out this:

If you have any issues with that, run "services.msc" stop the "Server" service (and click "Yes" to stop any additional service). Then retry the above.

 

After doing so, download the WSS Troubleshooter utility. Run it on the server and select the "Rebuild DrivePool Shares" option. This will automatically reshare the pooled locations, bypassing the dashboard's issues with moving shares to locations with existing data.
