When attempting to attach a virtual disk from a storage pool it fails with no specific error message.
Here is what I see when I attempt to attach it from powershell:
PS C:\Windows\system32> connect-virtualdisk -FriendlyName f_disk -Verbose
connect-virtualdisk : Failed
Activity ID: {e864c349-8912-4c43-912d-6873cb3a7e1c}
At line:1 char:1
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (StorageWMI:ROOT/Microsoft/...SFT_VirtualDisk) [Connect-VirtualDisk], CimE
xception
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : StorageWMI 4,Connect-VirtualDisk
Has anyone seen this before, and if so how was this resolved?

Hi,
Please try disabling the disks from being automatically added to the failover cluster. Open PowerShell as administrator and run
Get-StorageSubSystem | Set-StorageSubSystem -AutomaticClusteringEnabled:$false
