To view the available storage in a Storage Spaces Direct storage pool, you should use the Failover Cluster Manager. The Failover Cluster Manager is a management tool in Windows Server that allows you to manage a failover cluster, which is a group of independent servers that work together to increase the availability of applications and services.
Storage Spaces Direct is a feature in Windows Server that allows you to create a highly available and scalable software-defined storage system by using local storage on the servers in a cluster. The storage pool is a collection of physical disks that are grouped together and presented to the cluster as a single virtual disk. To view the available storage in the storage pool, you need to use the Failover Cluster Manager, which provides a graphical view of the cluster and its resources.
To view the available storage in the storage pool using Failover Cluster Manager, follow these steps:
Open the Failover Cluster Manager from the Windows Server desktop.
Connect to the cluster that contains the Storage Spaces Direct storage pool.
In the left pane of the Failover Cluster Manager, click on the Storage node.
In the center pane, you should see the storage pool listed. If it is not listed, right-click on the Storage node and select Add a storage pool.
Select the storage pool and click on the Physical Disks tab in the lower pane.
In the Physical Disks tab, you should see a list of the physical disks that are part of the storage pool, along with their capacity, status, and other information.
By following these steps, you can view the available storage in a Storage Spaces Direct storage pool using the Failover Cluster Manager. The other options listed in the question are not appropriate for this task. The Get-StorageSubsystem cmdlet is used to retrieve information about storage subsystems in Windows PowerShell. File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) is used to manage and monitor file servers and their resources. Disk Management is used to manage disks and volumes on a single server.
