Clean the disks

In this phase we'll use a prepared Microsoft script (Step 3.4)to clean and add all the disks (8 in total) to our cluster.

icm (Get-Cluster -Name <cluster or node name> | Get-ClusterNode) {

Update-StorageProviderCache

Get-StoragePool | ? IsPrimordial -eq $false | Set-StoragePool -IsReadOnly:$false -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

Get-StoragePool | ? IsPrimordial -eq $false | Get-VirtualDisk | Remove-VirtualDisk -Confirm:$false -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

Get-StoragePool | ? IsPrimordial -eq $false | Remove-StoragePool -Confirm:$false -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

Get-PhysicalDisk | Reset-PhysicalDisk -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

Get-Disk | ? Number -ne $null | ? IsBoot -ne $true | ? IsSystem -ne $true | ? PartitionStyle -ne RAW | % {

$_ | Set-Disk -isoffline:$false

$_ | Set-Disk -isreadonly:$false

$_ | Clear-Disk -RemoveData -RemoveOEM -Confirm:$false

$_ | Set-Disk -isreadonly:$true

$_ | Set-Disk -isoffline:$true

}

Get-Disk |? Number -ne $null |? IsBoot -ne $true |? IsSystem -ne $true |? PartitionStyle -eq RAW | Group -NoElement -Property FriendlyName

} | Sort -Property PsComputerName,Count

Your results shouldn't be different, if you are doing this setup completely virtually.

I didn't take any screenshot before (shame on me). But all this time this should've been empty. If you're stuck at this point in time, maybe troubleshoot this. We used "-nostorage" as a parameter when we build the cluster.
