I just reimaged my server 2012 R2 on my C Drive. My D Drive is set in storage spaces as my NAS Drive, i did not touch it during the reimage. The Pool shows up in my Server Manager as already there. I was able to turn it online, but every time my server reboots i have to manually go in and turn it on. anyone seen this issue before?
No Auto Attach Fix when OS Re-Instantiated It happened to me. If I remember correctly, when a virtual drive wakes to a different instance of the OS, the virtual is automatically set to read only, therefore no auto attach. WS just trying to protect the data. To fix, remove the read only property on the virtual drive and attach virtual drive. h++p://windowsitpro.com/systems-management/q-after-i-reinstalled-windows-server-2012-my-storage-spaces-are-no-longer-writabl After attach fix, check in a subfolder for a valid file. If only root seems to be not corrupt, then the version of Storage Spaces may need to be upgraded also via PowerShell command. If subfolder file good, then Storage Space upgrade not necessary.
How do i set the virtual disk to be false for manual attach? I cannot seem to put it correctly using the link below. h++p://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh848712.aspx
PowerShell Commands to Set ReadWrite True and AutoAttach True Go to Server Desktop (Use Remote Desktop especially if Server is headless) Start PowerShell (look down for > icon on taskbar) At PS prompt, Enter Get-StoragePool Check result displayed in PowerShell. IsReadOnly column should show False. If any True, then auto-attach will not occur on that StoragePool To change IsReadOnly to False (so ReadWrite is True) At PS prompt, Enter Get-StoragePool | Where-Object {$_.IsReadonly –eq $True } | Set-StoragePool –IsReadonly $False To set all StoragePools to IsReadOnly False (so StoragePools are ReadWrite) At PS prompt, Enter Get-VirtualDisk Check result displayed in PowerShell. IsManualAttach should be False. If any are True, then AutoAttach is Off. To change IsManualAttach to False (so AutoAttach is On) At PS prompt, Enter Get-VirtualDisk | Where-Object {$_.IsManualAttach –eq $True} | Set-VirtualDisk –IsManualAttach $False To set all VirtualDisks to AutoAttach On To check results, Enter Get-VirtualDisk And check results for IsManualAttach set to False which means the VirtualDisks should AutoAttach. Problem should be solved now
It is me, or Win Server 2012 have a lot of new issues, because I've founding several of these now that I'm making upgrading my current 2003 and 2008 and moving to virtual.
