I have been trying to setup this bloody cluster storage spaces direct configuration for over a month and have re-installed everything on the server more than a dozen times. Every time I get to running the command for the first time, it makes some configuration that is not what I want and there is absolutely no way that I can undo the changes or fix them in any way, shape, or form except by completely wiping the server and reinstalling the entire operating system. I have tried to run Disable-ClusterS2D and then re-run the Enable-ClusterS2D and it will hang on “Waiting until all physical disks are reported by clustered storage subsystem”. I try to completely detach the entire pool and wipe it manually and reclaim the disks and recreate the pool, and guess what, “Waiting until all physical disks are reported by clustered storage subsystem”. I wipe the entire cluster configuration and recreate the cluster from scratch. Did that work? Of course not, “Waiting until all physical disks are reported by clustered storage subsystem”. 

This has happened on both Windows Server 2022 and 2025, Datacenter editions. Why can I not run the command more than once per operating system??? If I need to replace a disk, am I just supposed to wipe the whole operating system??? Isn’t this **bleep** thing supposed to be enterprise grade and just work???
