Hi all,
I have the following problem: A Windows Server 2012 R2 is hosting a storage pool consisting of 3 x 8TB physical disks. There is one volume on that pool with simple storage layout. I want to move the data off that volume to another virtual disk presented by another storage pool on that server.
The physical disks of that other storage pool have exactly the same size. So what I did was opening diskmgmt.msc to convert the start volume from basic to dynamic and then add the new volumeas a mirror and waited for resynching to finish. I broke the mirror to remove the old virtual disk, data still present as the drive letter is still online.
I detached the old virtual disk from the server, but now I am afraid I could lose the data, as I am not able to see the volume anywhere. It is still accessible in diskmgmt and explorer, but I don't see the virtual disk in Server Manager/File and Storage Services.
And in the storage pool overview in server manager the is no volume attached to either the new or old storage space. I am afraid to delete the old virtual disk and lose access to my data.
I know this sound really strange, but I hope one can understand and give some advice what may happen.
thanks
Matthias
