#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : Storage Spaces virtual disk detached or degraded Fix : Reattach a detached virtual disk Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/srv-sto-spaces Run as : Elevated PowerShell Expect : 60 minutes Risk : high Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX Detached or Incomplete. HOW TO UNDO IT None. Do not force anything online with disks missing beyond the resiliency level. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
