After a recent power cycle my system suddenly lost access to my virtual disk. After some digging, it appears the disk is now unattached. I have tried to reconnect via PowerShell (with admin privileges) and the GUI but the command fails, and a subsequent event
is logged as "Disk 6 has been surprised removed". The command I'm running and error is as follows:
Connect-VirtualDisk -FriendlyName "Virtual Disk Name"
Connect-VirtualDisk : Failed
Activity ID: {characters}
At line:1 char:1
+ Connect-VirtualDisk -FriendlyName "VaultDisk1"
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified:(StorageWMI:ROOT/Microsoft/...SFT_VirtualDisk) [Connect-VirtualDisk], CimE xception
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : StorageWMI 4,Connect-VirtualDisk1
When trying to attach the disk with the GUI the error reports as "Error attaching or detaching virtual disk: Failed to attach virtual disk to ComputerName. Failed Activity ID: {string of characters}"
Otherwise the HDDs are all in working order and the storage pool reports as healthy. If you have any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated. I've done some googling but it wasn't particularly fruitful. The few potential solutions I did find involved connecting the drives to a separate computer to rebuild the disk, but I'm just a casual home user and this wouldn't really be possible for me.
