Storage Pool cannot allocate free space to a virtual disk
i have storage pool in windows server 2012 made of 3 x 3tb disks. total capacity 8.18tb. there thin provisioned virtual parity disk of 7tb 4.87tb allocated.
server manager shows 900gb of free space available in pool. each of 3 physical disks shows 2.44tb used , 300gb free.
i trying create new fixed simple disk of remaining space. should able create virtual disk of 900gb.
the maximum size of fixed simple disk can create 288gb (i tried server manager , powershell this). disk properties show equally divided across 3 physical disks (96gb x 3). after creating vhd, free space each physical disk shows 204gb. free space pool shows 612gb.
any assistance in understanding these numbers, , makng use of full space available, appreciated.
sorry,
i misunderstood original question. if have equal free space on (3) drives, should able create simple space 3 column , size equal sum of available free space in pool. can share output of following powershell commands?
get-storagepool | ? isprimordial -eq $false | ft friendlyname,size,allocatedsize -autosize
get-storagepool | ? isprimordial -eq $false | get-physicaldisk | ft friendlyname,size,allocatedsize,manufacturer,usage -autosize
get-virtualdisk | ft friendlyname,resiliencysettingname,numberofcolumns,numberofdatacopies,size,allocatedsize,footprintonpool -autosize
