WSE 2012 R2 - storage spaces


Franko

Recommended Posts

I am now running Storage Spaces on WHS 2012 R2 (1 way mirror with tiered storage). Drivescanner is unable to see the component discs that make up the storage space (14 individual drives). I have tried the Win7 and Windows Home Server 2011 versions of the software.

 

1. Is there a way to fix it so I can once again see the the health states of individual discs?

2. If this is not possible is it a feature that is coming in the future?

 

 

Thanks.

Franko, 

 

Unfortunately, most likely not. The reason for this is that we use the build in API for accessing the disks. A large part of that is the "Virtual Disk Service". Both "Disk Manager" (diskmgmt.msc) and Diskpart connect to this API/service. If you can't see the disks there, then StableBit Scanner cannot see the disks either.

The reason for this is that Storage Spaces hides the component disks from view, as it acts much like a RAID. It is a block level solution, so it needs the entire disk to work.
