Win2008-R2, VSF-5.1, Device name change
We have a situation where we need to rename CD drive from such as D: and E: to X; and Y: . We usually do this before loading and setting up Veritas Storage by using the Microsoft Disk Tool in Device Management. Once VSF is loaded this tool is no-longer available and we cannot use it to rename the drive letter. A CD drive was left as E: and now that VSF is loaded we can not find a way to change its letter, since VSF has taken over the tool we normally use. Does anyone know how we may now change the drive letter on this CD device so when one looks a file explorer, the drive will no longer show as E: but as X: for instance. ?Solved741Views0likes2Comments
Unknown Dg appears in Disk Groups with some or all disks
Hello, Since support from Symantec is slow (not every case, but this time), I am asking this on forum. I am doing a new installation and suddenly I have this new DG called "Unknown Dg". There are disks with status foreign and type Dynamic. I cannot do anything with these disk (oh powerfull SFW). Usually I can destroy DG or remove disk from DG etc, but not in this case. Reason for having this situation: - I made two cluster Disk Groups with same name on different servers with different disks and suddenly disks from this Disk groups are in disk group Unknown Dg - I reinstalled SFW and suddenly all disks from all dynamic Disk groups are in Unknown Dg I searched documentation and found this: If the cluster software attempts to fail over a disk group to another node that has a disk group with the same name or if you move a disk group to another node that has a disk group with the same name, unpredictable results can occur. (well now we know the result). I searched internet and found this: http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/287444.htm (there is part telling you to reinstall SFW - but this makes it even worse) I found also this: vxtool is used to clear the SFWPrivate Region from a disk and would be used in instances when you were attempting to destroy a Disk Group or remove a problem Disk that has a corrupted private region on it. The resetmbr clears the private region and writes a new signature to the disk. Do you think that vxtool can help me with this ? my config: w2k3 r2 sp2, VSFW 5.1 sp1, fiber HBA qlogic QLE2460, and IBM DS8300 arraySolved3.4KViews0likes11Comments
