Errors when running the command `New-VirtualDisk`, when using the create script

Open EthanScully opened this issue 2 months ago • 1 comments

For some background, I am using a simple single ssd and single hdd caching tier. I am running Windows 11 Pro, Version: 23H2 Build: 22631.4541, which should be the latest version of mainstream windows.

Regarding the new-storage-space.ps1 script, when running the segment:

New-VirtualDisk -StoragePoolFriendlyName $StoragePoolName -FriendlyName $TieredDiskName -StorageTiers @($SSDTier, $HDDTier) -StorageTierSizes @($SSDTierSize, $HDDTierSize) -ResiliencySettingName $DriveTierResiliency -AutoWriteCacheSize -AutoNumberOfColumns 

it gives the error The value for PhysicalDiskRedundancy is outside of the supported range of values., where I will have to add the argument to the above command: -PhysicalDiskRedundancy 0 then after the corrected command, I get the error, The value for NumberOfDataCopies is outside of the supported range of values., where I will have to add the argument: -NumberOfDataCopies 1 after adding these two arguments, the command runs successfully, and I am able to complete the script successfully.

Those two arguments have default values that are inherited from the ResiliencySettingName Simple argument, where I used simple do to my configuration.

Anyway I just wanted to tell you all that there might be an issue with new versions of windows.

For more information regarding the command, I'll leave this link here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/storage/createvirtualdisk-msft-storagepool
