Windows 10: Windows Storage Pool damaged, cant open volume

Hi,

i am running Windows Server 2016 with a Storage Pool of 7 WD Reds 8TB.
Today i was updating the Storage driver on the system. That was a big mistake ://

Now i cannot open my "virtual disk" volume




Here are some infos from powershell.



Please help me

:)

 

Any way to downgrade ver. of MS Storage spaces volume w/o data loss?


1. Install Windows 1607 & 1709 dual boot system
2. Connect two free disks
3. Boot into 1607
4. Create storage pool, assign two free disks, create two-way mirror volume
5. Copy data to new volume
6. Reboot into 1709
7. Upgrade your Storage Space pool to gain new features as MS suggests
8. Reboot into 1607
9. Your Storage Space configuration looks now as in the picture, volume is inaccessible
10. Notice that doing step 7 was not the smartest idea, data are now accessible only from Windows 1709.

Question: Is it possible to simply revert Storage Spaces metadata back to version 1607? Answer: No. It is necessary to backup data, destroy upgraded pool, create new pool & mirror in Windows 1607, and restore data.

Is it so hard to understand what necros asks for?

 

How to remove a bad drive in Windows 10 storage spaces pool

Could someone list the steps involved in replacing a bad drive from a Windows 10 storage spaces pool? I cannot find any info on the Microsoft support site that is specific to Windows 10. Also, could you list the steps to remove a 'good' drive and replace
it with another drive if the process is different?

WOW this sound even worse than a straight up RAID 0, This confirms I'll never use this feature if I ever need to have a RAID 0 Volume I'll use IRST

I still think if the OP has a full back up of the volume he should be able to restore it to a newer version of SS or a IRST Volume or a single drive
