STATUS_VOLMGR_DISK_CONTAINS_NON_SIMPLE_VOLUME
STATUS_VOLMGR_DISK_CONTAINS_NON_SIMPLE_VOLUME means that the selected disk participates in a non-simple dynamic volume, such as a layout that spans, stripes, mirrors, or otherwise involves more than a simple single-disk volume. The requested operation is restricted to a simpler topology.
The important diagnostic question is not whether the disk has free space, but what existing volume membership depends on it. Removing or reinitializing one disk can damage every volume component that references that member.
What to check
- Inventory the disk's dynamic-volume memberships and identify whether any volume spans multiple disks or uses fault-tolerance components.
- Verify the intended operation's supported topology before attempting a migration, conversion, or removal.
- Plan a data migration or supported volume transformation instead of treating a member disk as independently disposable.
