Unassigning a drive letter
In case of a shared storage configuration, while installing an application on multiple nodes, you must first unassign drive letters and release the disks from one node, and then reserve the disks, mount the volumes using the same drive letters and then install the application on the failover node.
These steps are required only if you are configuring shared storage. Skip these steps for a non-shared storage configuration.
Note:
You must run Disk Management on all systems each time you add a shared disk. This ensures each disk has a valid signature written to it, and that the device paths and symbolic links are updated.
Complete these steps to unassign the drive letters from a node.
To unassign drive letter
- Log in as Administrator.
- Open Disk Management. Type the following at the command prompt:
C:\> diskmgmt.msc
- Right-click the partition or logical drive and click Change Drive Letter and Path.
- In the Change Drive Letter and Paths dialog box, click the drive letter and click Remove.
