Issue creating New-StoragePool and New-VirtualDisk specifying 1 physical Disk

hi all,

i'm having issues with script i'm building, want create 1 storagepool with 1 physical drive 2 available disks, then create virtualdisk , volume with 1 disk in storagepool, initialize disk, format volume - the run same remaining disk

so far can script building storagepool both available disks get-physical -canpool $true can't specify 1 disk -friendlyname

below script -canpool $true works 

$drivelogs = "sqldblogs"  $physicaldisks = get-storagesubsystem -friendlyname "storage spaces*" | get-physicaldisk -canpool $true  new-storagepool -friendlyname $drivelogs -storagesubsystemfriendlyname "storage spaces*" -physicaldisks $physicaldisks |  new-virtualdisk -friendlyname $drivelogs -provisioningtype fixed -usemaximumsize |  initialize-disk -passthru |new-partition -driveletter e -usemaximumsize |  format-volume  get-volume -driveletter e | set-volume -newfilesystemlabel sqldblogs

specifying 1 disk 2 available (which i'm trying achieve) with the below script -friendlyname gets error msg

$drivelogs = "sqldblogs"  $drivedata = "sqldbdata"  #$physicaldisks = get-storagesubsystem -friendlyname "storage spaces*" | get-physicaldisk -canpool $true  #$physicaldisks  = get-physicaldisk -friendlyname "physicaldisk2"  $physicaldisks = get-storagesubsystem -friendlyname "storage spaces*" | get-physicaldisk -friendlyname "physicaldesk2"  new-storagepool -friendlyname $drivelogs -storagesubsystemfriendlyname "storage spaces*" -physicaldisk $physicaldisks |  new-virtualdisk -friendlyname $drivelogs -provisioningtype fixed -usemaximumsize |  initialize-disk -passthru |new-partition -driveletter e -usemaximumsize |  format-volume  get-volume -driveletter e | set-volume -newfilesystemlabel sqldblogs*

error msg

if run below script i error there's no available disks in storage spool create virtual disk, though create storagpool 1 disk of 2 available , can create virtual disk manually i'm not sure why it's not working.

$drivelogs = "sqldblogs"  $drivedata = "sqldbdata"  #$physicaldisks = get-storagesubsystem -friendlyname "storage spaces*" | get-physicaldisk -canpool $true  $physicaldisks  = get-physicaldisk -friendlyname "physicaldisk2"  #$physicaldisks = get-storagesubsystem -friendlyname "storage spaces*" | get-physicaldisk -friendlyname "physicaldesk2"  new-storagepool -friendlyname $drivelogs -storagesubsystemfriendlyname "storage spaces*" -physicaldisk $physicaldisks |  new-virtualdisk -friendlyname $drivelogs -provisioningtype fixed -usemaximumsize |  initialize-disk -passthru |new-partition -driveletter e -usemaximumsize |  format-volume  get-volume -driveletter e | set-volume -newfilesystemlabel sqldblogs*

i've started powershell appreciated, if there's whole new way i'm learning.

background info, i'm trying automate provisioning of vm's (as possible) have create 50 vm's dev, uat , prod environments , need them identical

cheers!!

got working..

basically had add -resiliencysettingname parameter otherwise the script doesn't work , error
"there not enough eligible physical disks in storage pool create specified virtual disk configuration"

below working script

#create storagepools new-storagepool –friendlyname $drivelogs  –storagesubsystemfriendlyname “storage spaces*” –physicaldisks (get-physicaldisk physicaldisk2) new-storagepool –friendlyname $drivedata  –storagesubsystemfriendlyname “storage spaces*” –physicaldisks (get-physicaldisk physicaldisk3)  #build virtual disk, volume , format e: (sqldblogs) new-virtualdisk -storagepoolfriendlyname $drivelogs -friendlyname $drivelogs -provisioningtype fixed -resiliencysettingname simple -usemaximumsize | initialize-disk -passthru |new-partition -driveletter e -usemaximumsize | format-volume get-volume -driveletter e | set-volume -newfilesystemlabel $drivelogs  #build virtual disk, volume , format f: (sqldbdata) new-virtualdisk -storagepoolfriendlyname $drivedata -friendlyname $drivedata -provisioningtype fixed -resiliencysettingname simple -usemaximumsize | initialize-disk -passthru |new-partition -driveletter f -usemaximumsize | format-volume get-volume -driveletter f | set-volume -newfilesystemlabel $drivedata
