Windows 10: Recreate my Data Mirror in Windows 10 Disk Manager

I had to shut off my server and move some drives around. After restarting, I noticed that one of my mirrored DATA drives were "missing" and on inspection noticed that the a removable sled were not fully engaged. So, shutdown the machine and properly reinserted and locked the sled - then restarted. Windows now showed the drive as "Foreign" Can't be sure, but I think my only option was to Import... which I did.Now I have two Dynamic Healthy disks - but no mirror... and on either disk, the "Add mirror" is disabled - greyed out.Explored each drive contents - looks like they are both all there.

Disk mirror failed redundancy: Remove mirror or reactivate volume?

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



The cause for Failed Redundancy would be that half, but not both halves, of a mirrored volume was imported. In Disk Management, the imported half of the mirrored volume receives Failed Redundancy status, while the disk that holds the
half of the mirror that was not imported receives Missing status. You can import the Missing disk at a later time to restore redundancy.



The solution for Failed Redundancy is to move all disks that span this volume to the new computer at the same time, and then import all of the disks together.



The complete solution is giving in the section A mirrored volume's status is Data Not Redundant from
Troubleshooting Disk Management.



You may also refer the section A dynamic disk's status is Offline or Missing from the above article and try the troubleshooting steps.



If you are still facing any issues related to Mirroring, then I suggest you to post your query in
IT Pro TechNet forums, where we have support professionals who are well equipped with the knowledge on Hard Disk Mirroring.



Hope it helps.

My Drive Turned Into Dynamic Disk ! Please Help me !!!

If you right click the Pen Drive do you get either of the options, 'Break Mirrored Volume' or 'Remove Mirror'?

To break a mirrored set, follow these steps:

• In Disk Management, right-click one of the drives in the mirrored set, and then choose Break Mirrored Volume.
• Confirm that you want to break the mirrored set by clicking Yes.
• If the volume is currently in use, you'll see another warning dialog box. Confirm that it's okay to continue by clicking Yes.

To remove a mirror, follow these steps:

• In Disk Management, right-click one of the volumes in the mirrored set, and then choose Remove Mirror
• In the Remove Mirror dialog, select the disk from which to remove the mirror.
  
• If the mirror contains a boot or system volume, you should remove the mirror from the secondary drive rather than the primary. For example, if Drive 0 and Drive 1 are mirrored, remove Drive 1 rather than Drive 0
• Confirm the action when prompted. All data on the removed mirror is deleted.

 

Mirror Command in Disk Management or Storage Space commands

I am using Windows 10 Pro on a Desktop. I have a number of internal hard drives all set to AHCI and 1 USB 3 external drive. All my drives show up in devices and Disk Management and I am able to access all drives and made sure all drives include me as the
administrator owner. The problem is I am rethinking how I want to store data and I have 2 identical Sata 3 drives, one of which has all my data and I cleared the second drive because I wanted to mirror the data drive on it. I also have 2 drives which I previously
spanned and they show as spanned in Disk Management.

So my problem is this - Even though I have Win Pro the Mirror command is blanked out in Disk Management and if I go to manage storage spaces only the USB3 drive even shows up. I can't create any new storage spaces and none of my drives are even listed.

Any idea as to what is going on? I had installed a new MB, memory and Video card but all the drives are from a previous build. So that is why I went and checked ownership of every drive to make sure I was in control. Everything else on this computer is working
fine.
