If there are existing partitions or other data on the drives, the drives must be cleaned before creating the host

cluster.

Warning:

With the exception of the boot drives, the following script removes all data from all disks on the

hosts specified in

$ServerList

. For more information, see

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-

server/storage/storage-spaces/deploy-storage-spaces-direct

.

All disks eligible to be used in the storage pool may be cleaned by running the following script on the

management system:

PS>

$ServerList = "storage-01", "storage-02", "storage-03", "storage-04"

Invoke-Command ($ServerList) {

Update-StorageProviderCache

Note:

Replace the names in

$ServerList

above with the Ready Node names used in your environment.

When complete, the output of the above script lists disks and hostnames similar to the following:
