Cannot remove last set of HDDs from a storage pool migration to SSD drives


i have storage pool 1 virtual disk trying migrate hdds ssds.  intent not create tiered storage pool, remove hdds.  able add ssds without issue, found not remove final 2 hdds pool.

cli errors unhelpful, got 1 saying "not enough free space" when attempting remove either/both hdds.  somehow able set mediatype 1 spare ssd had hdd , allowed me remove 1 real hdd, still leaves me 2 drives showing hdd in storage pool.  cannot seem use set-physicaldisk -friendlyname xxxx -mediatype hdd/ssd command change hdds ssds or ssd hdd replace final real hdd.

i'm 99% sure final problem there 2 hdds in pool , cannot remove them since pool thinkgs ssd != hdd.  there way these out without having delete pool , start over?

only showed above:

repair-virtualdisk : failed
@ line:1 char:1
+ repair-virtualdisk -friendlyname vsa-hv2-store2-disk1
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + categoryinfo          : notspecified: (storagewmi:root/microsoft/...sft_virtualdisk) [repair-virtualdisk], cimex
   ception
    + fullyqualifiederrorid : storagewmi 4,repair-virtualdisk

i worked around problem migrating data off virtual disk deleted storage space , created new one.  worked me time because had ~125% raw disk capacity, in future more of problem me.  chalk glitch impossible remove last set of hdds existing non-tiered storage space if there available ssds present.  i'm sure others replicate problem, don't have time open true support case when don't have ongoing business case problem correct.
