I have a cluster of three ProLiant DL380p Gen8 servers with Windows Server 2019 OS. After Predictive failure warning on one of the physical drives, I retired it (Set-PhysicalDisk -Usage Retired) and removed id from pool (Remove-PhysicalDisk –PhysicalDisk $Disk). Than replaced it physicaly for a new drive. But the server still shows the old drive as possible for pooling and not the new drive. I can see it in the WAC or Get-PhysicalDisk cmdlet.

On the contrary - the HP iLO shows the new drive.

Any tips?

Already detached and removed drive still showing.

That is common behavior on Storage Spaces Direct clusters running Windows Server 2016/2019 and is mostly caused by storage configuration cache update delays. After replacing the physical disk, you need to force the OS to update all storage-related information by running the following Powershell commands:

That should resolve your problem and show the actual data within all Windows management tools. As soon as you see the correct information, you may proceed with adding the new disk to the pool as usual.
