Disk Administrator, All Disk Arrays Partitioned and Committed
Assign Drive Letters
Disk Administrator has assigned sequential and temporary drive letters to the disk arrays you partitioned.
You must assign a permanent (static) drive letter to each drive you want to make available to both Systems A
and B.
NOTE When partitioning logical drives with Windows NT the logical drive letters are
sequentially assigned in a predefined sequence. These drive letters are temporary
assignments that can change according to the drives installed in your system. For
clustered systems it is critical that the drive letters for the shared storage drives be fixed.
Therefore, make sure that you assign permanent drive letters to the shared logical drives.
1. Select one of the disks you just partitioned.
Disk Administrator highlights the selected disk.
2. From the Disk Administrator’s Tools menu, choose Assign Drive Letter .
Disk Administrator displays the Assign Drive Letter dialog.
3. In the dialog, select a drive letter, and click OK .
To avoid confusion later, HP recommends that you choose sequential drive letters. The example in this
guide uses drive letters X and Y.
