I want to disable the "Optimize" and "Repair" jobs that automatically run after new disks are added to the pool. I have been trying to google the solution and scanning Windows' storage related powershell commands, but haven't found any solution. Is there way to accomplish this?
I am using Windows server 2016.
[Note: I understand the implications of doing this.]
The closest I think you can come to this is to disable Storage Spaces retiring of a missing disk and so automatically starting a repair.
Use the PowerShell command
Set-StoragePool
with the parameters -RetireMissingPhysicalDisks Never, described as:
When set to Never, Windows never retires missing physical disks.
This is one step in the recommended procedure when replacing a bad disk,
as described in
Turn off automatic disk retirement in the storage pool.
