Case A: Physical Disk Failure in Storage Spaces Pool

Symptom: Get-PhysicalDisk shows HealthStatus: Warning or Unhealthy with operational status Predictive Failure.

Resolution:

1. Retire the failed drive (do not simply remove it if data is still on it):

   Set-PhysicalDisk -FriendlyName "PhysicalDiskX" -Usage Retired
   

2. Initiate repair of the virtual disk:

   Repair-VirtualDisk -FriendlyName "YourVirtualDisk" -AsJob
   

3. Monitor repair progress:

   Get-StorageJob
   

4. Once repair completes (may take hours), physically replace the drive. Then run:

   Reset-PhysicalDisk -FriendlyName "NewDisk"
   Add-PhysicalDisk -StoragePoolFriendlyName "Pool1" -PhysicalDisks (Get-PhysicalDisk -FriendlyName "NewDisk")
