About volume mount points

Volume mount points enable you to surpass the 26-drive-letter limitation.

A volume mount point is a drive or volume in Windows that is mounted to a folder that uses NTFS. A mounted drive is assigned a drive path instead of a drive letter.

SnapDrive supports the creation of up to 128 LUNs. By using volume mount points, you can graft, or mount, a target partition into a folder on another physical disk. After you create a volume mount point in SnapDrive, the volume mount point drive path or label displays in Microsoft MMC Disk Management pane, as well as in SnapDrive MMC Disk List pane. For more information about volume mount points, see Microsoft article 280297 and 205524.

Volume mount point limitations

When creating mount points on clustered Windows 2003 servers, keep these additional limitations in mind:

The mounted volume must be of the same type as its root; that is, if the root volume is a shared cluster resource, the mounted volume must also be shared, and if the root volume is dedicated, the mounted volume must also be dedicated.
You cannot create mount points to the quorum disk.
If you have a mount point from one shared disk to another, SnapDrive will verify that they are in the same cluster group and that the mounted disk resource is dependent on the root disk source.
