Adding, removing, or changing a drive letter or path for an existing LUN

You can add, remove, or change a drive letter or mount point path for an existing LUN using the SnapDrive for Windows MMC snap-in.

2. From the menu choices at the top of MMC, navigate to Action > Change Drive Letter and Paths.
3. In the Change Drive Letter and Paths window, click either Add, Remove, or Change, depending on the action you want to take.
   Note: The Change option is unavailable for mount points.

   By removing the last volume mount point on a shared disk, SnapDrive for Windows removes the resource dependency from the root disk. If you are creating a mount point from one shared disk to another, SnapDrive verifies they are in the same cluster group and creates a dependency to the root disk resource if it is the first volume mount point to that root disk.

   Note: When you create the first volume mount point to a root disk that is shared and is being used by MSCS, SnapDrive, as part of the resource dependency process, takes the physical disk resource offline, presenting the mounting volume. As a result, any other cluster resources that depend on the physical disk resource will also be taken offline. An example of this is the Exchange System Attendant cluster resource. SnapDrive automatically brings the physical disk resource back online but will not bring the Exchange resources back online. Exchange resources should be brought back online manually using the Cluster Administrator.
