Hi, Can any of you figure out what might be causing new hard drive (that's recognized by the system) to not appear in the primordial storage pool. Here's what I have and what I've tried:
1. Hard Drive appears in the drive section of Server Manager\File and Storage Services\Volumes\Disks
2. Hard drive is not part of the primordial storage pool
3. Hard drive appears in the Computer Manager > Disk Management as "unallocated"
Here's what I've tried including all variations (sequence of actions, offline/online, formatted, raw, partitioned, etc)
1. Clean disk via the command prompt, powershell and Server Manager GUI.
Crap, I thought I tried more things than this, but I guess going through the different permutations of sequence of actions and formatting following the clean procedure seemed like more. Yes, all I've done is clean the disk every way possible that I could think of without it ever showing up in the primordial pool.
Details: Windows Server 2016, Up-To-Date, file services and hyperv roles enabled, no domain, single enclosure, not clustered, all drives connected via a single HBA card, tried plugging drive into different points on card, drive tested in another system, drive accessible on computer directly after formatting and creating a volume via disk manager.
I'm at a loss - any advice will be VERY much welcomed.
