ISCSI Initiator - Cannot Change Drive Letters

Good afternoon-
I added two iSCSI LUNs to one of my servers using the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server. Everything seems to be working fine, except for the fact that the drive letters are reversed - Volume 1 is my F: drive and Volume 2 is E:.
Because I need to use one script across multiple servers, I need to change these drive letters. When I right click them in Server Manager, the Change drive letter option is greyed out. Is there a different way to do this?
Thank you!

Please start by that:

Thanks Mr. X! I was able to fix this with DISKPART. Here are the instructions taken from your link:
1. Open Command Prompt.
2.Type:
diskpart
3.At the DISKPART prompt, type:
list volume
Make note of the number of the simple volume whose drive letter you want to assign, change, or remove.
4. At the DISKPART prompt, type:
select volume n
Select the volume, where n is the volume's number, whose drive letter you want to assign, change, or remove.
5.At the DISKPART prompt, type one of the following:
assign letter=L
Where L is the drive letter you want to assign or change.
remove letter=L
Where L is the drive letter you want to remove.

  • Edit code for change drive letters in paths for links, to also work with Fonts that have been moved.

    I have the following code that looks through my links and changes all of the drive letters to the new locations where they exist.  So if something stays in the same folder structure, but moves to a new drive E: and InDesign can not longer find it, you can run the code and have it fix them all.
    Well I want to do the same but for fonts that have also moved.
    Thank you in advance for any and all help!

    ok, so I have discovered where the issue came from...
    The code you helped me with before, were I removed all links and my link character styles that I had (found here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5881440#5881440)
    Well it set all the items I was finding/replacing to unknown fonts that my machine doesn't have (Like Helvetic Neue Bold, instead of just Helvetica Bold, etc).
    Is there an easy way of fixing this?
    The only way I know to fix it right now is:
    Go to Package >> go to Fonts >> Select the the font that says it's missing >> Select Find First >> CLOSE ALL OF THIS, then use the eye-dropper to select the text around that font which copies the formatting and then apply it to the text who's formatting got messed up.  And then start the process all over again for the next occurence of that word whose formatting got stripped.

  • Is it possible to change drive letters for library files

    Without having to delete and re-add everything? It would be very nice for all my playlists and my iPod and playcounts and whatnot if this were possible.
    If not, what is the easiest way to getting all your music with a new drive letter and managing to keep all playlists and whatnot.
    I ask because I'd like to be able to access my music on multiple computers but the drive letter D:\ associated with the library is taken on most systems I go on (and on many cannot be changed for various reasons)

    To be portable the iTunes library and it's assoicated files should be kept together in one folder, with all the media being in held a designated subfolder. iTunes for Windows normally creates the main iTunes folder at <profile>\<documents>\<music>\iTunes. Inside iTunes should be the sub-folders *Album Artwork*, *iTunes Music* and typically *iPod Games*. From iTunes 8.0 the iTunes folder will usually contain the following library files:
    *iTunes Library.itl*
    *iTunes Library.xml*
    *iTunes Library Extras.itl*
    *iTunes Library Genius.itl*
    sentinel
    If you rename or move the main iTunes folder as a whole, then hold SHIFT while opening iTunes (which gives an option to create a new library or open an existing one), then browse to the new location of the *iTunes Library.itl* file, iTunes will open the library, work out the new locations of any files stored in or below *iTunes\iTunes Music* and place new rips or downloads in the correct relative location. If such a library is put on a portable drive, the drive can be connected to multiple computers, each running the same version of iTunes, and the library can be accessed with iTunes irrespective of which drive letter is assigned by each machine.
    As far as I can tell you were taking an existing library, changing the location for files to a new target, consolidating to that new location and then moving the itl files. While this would appear to be the advice given I'm not sure it is as simple or effective as just moving the whole folder.

With WinSCP, you can see all your data just like it is on the Windows PC. 1, Install WinSCP2. Login with "admin" account and password (The local account with username= admin) 3.

  • Changing Drive labels (letters)

    Hi, I partitioned the HDD on the K210 to a "C" (for Windows, programs and applications) and "D",  the next letter in the drive sequence somehow was assigned to the DVD Drive and the "E" Drive to the HDVD Drive and then the (Partitions that I created) "F", "G" and "H" Drives (where I store data files, photos,....).
    I would like to change (reassign) the "D" and "E" Drives (which are CD-DVD drives) to "outta" letters and use the "D" and "E" letters to reassign (the newly created) "G" and "H" Drives.
    Any suggestions on the best / easiest way to do this with out screwing things up even more?

  • Restoring itunes library when drive letters have changed

    I installed a new MB,CPU, and PS and got a new HD and reinstalled WXP pro on my computer. The process changed the letters of my hard drives. (I now have three large HDs.) All the data (library stuff) is still there, it's now has a different drive letter from before. Using the methond of importing using the old library .XML file would work except that itunes can't find the songs. Is there a way to edit the XML file to change the drive letter to the new one? I don't want to have to set up all new playlists.

    Hi Manish,
    Based on your description, we can try enabling the following policy:
    User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Explorer\
    Prevent access to drives from My Computer
    If we enable this policy, users cannot view the contents of the selected drives in My Computer and Windows Explorer. Also, they cannot use the
    Run dialog box, the Map Network Drive dialog box, or the Dir command to view the directories on these drives.
    However, this policy does not prevent users from using programs to access local and network drives. And, it does not prevent them from using the Disk Management snap-in to
    view and change drive characteristics.
    Regarding this policy, the following article can be referred to for more information.

  • I cannot change song order on playlist with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column( up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8  and am using itunes 10.4.

    I cannot change song order on playlists (old or new) with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column (up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8  and am using itunes 10.4. I can't drag and drop "music" to "playlist" but can right click and get the option to "add to playlist." No such option for moving song within playlist, only the up and down arrow which moves song from top to bottom list, so if it is #4 from top it will move to #4 from bottom. Stupid I know. I spent over an hour with Apple support, reinstalled itunes, restarted and rebooted computer. Networked with my laptop which is running 10.6.8 and itunes 10.4 and it can drag and drop. The final Apple support solution was to reinstall my operating system. I would prefer not to. Any other ideas?

    After looking at other people's posts, I think it's official: there is a bug. Itunes support said I should not have lost the drag/drop tool and I haven't on the laptop that is running itunes 10.4 and operating system 10.6.8. I chatted with someboby who lost both his drag/drop and side scroll and what we have in common is a wacom tablet for a mouse. My laptop is a wireless mouse. I reinstalled whatever updated driver that wacom has out there, shut the system down for night, hoping for magic, but alas none to be had. So if I want to change song order, I network the laptop and desktop, share the screen on the laptop, drag and drop to my heart's content and curse Apple for making me work this hard to find the tool that was once at my fingertips. Apple also let me know that if I want to share songs in household that the hundreds on songs that were purchased for .99 need to be repurchased for another .30. Maybe Apple is holding my drag/drop tool captive til I pay up the money or Maybe the next update will fix the problem, I for one give up for now.

    So, how do I change this field?  I still have 28 days in the trial period to decide if I want to pay for Lightroom or just stick with PSE 6.  There seem to be a lot of bugs in Lightroom.  Is there a list of bugs anywhere?  Is my problem on that list?

    Frankly, I doubt if it is something people would expect to do.  If you had save metadata to file automatically set what would you expect to happen?
    That said, I would also encourage you to not rely on CDs or DVDs, which have been shown to be pretty unreliable.  Disks are extremely cheap now and makes life much easier.  I keep originals and two backups and am trying to figure out where to keep the second backup out of my house but easy to access.  I tried offline via the internet but have concluded this is not a good solution.

  • DS console operators cannot change their passwords?

    I've setup named developer accounts with the operator role, so that (among other things) they can tell who has an object checked out. But it seems that console users cannot change their own passwords: someone with administrator access needs to do it for them? Is that correct? This goes against best practices, where an administrator can reset a password but the user then changes (preferably, the are forced to change it on first logon). If that is the case, hopefully it's addressed in the next release (we are using SAP BusinessObjects Data Services, version: 12.2.3.0).
    Regards,
    Sean

    Requiring Guests to Change Password
    You can allow or require guest users to change their password after their initial account credentials are created by the sponsor. If guest users change their passwords, sponsors cannot provide guests with their login credentials if they are lost. The sponsor must create a new guest account.
    You can either allow guests to change their passwords, or you can require that they do it at expiration and at first login. To require internal users using a guest portal to change their password upon their next login, choose Administration > Identity Management > Identities > Users . Select the specific internal user from the Network Access Users list and enable the change password check box.
    Before You Begin
    Create a Guest portal or modify the DefaultGuestPortal. This setting is specific to each Guest portal.
    Step 1 Choose Administration > Web Portal Management > Settings > Guest > Multi-Portal Configuration.
    Step 2 Check the Guest portal to update and click Edit .
    Step 3 Click the Operations tab.
    Step 4 Check either or both options:
    Allow guest users to change password
    Require guest users to change password at expiration and first login

  • PC Suite mixes up drive letters

    Hello,
    I am having two optical drives installed in my PC with letters W and X.
    After installing PC Suite the drive letters change to G and H which are the next unused letters following my fixed drives
    (it took me a long time to figure this out, so this seems to be the case since earlier versions).
    Also my PC is in a domain so by logging on a netlogon.cmd is executed. This file is located in my home directory (commonly) set to letter "H", but unreachable as PC Suite shifts one optical drive to it.
    This is reproducable by uninstalling/reinstalling the software.
    Anyone who can confirm this behaviour (maybe it is already known but I did not find something about it in this forum) ?
    best regards
    PatchPanel

    PC Suite will recognise your phone as a drive (latest versions of PC Suite do this even when not using 'data transfer' mode). It is unusual that it causes existing drive allocations to be changed, I have not heard of this happening before.

    I've got this error when I start SAP Solution Manager system.
    disp+work.exe  Running,Message Server connection ok,J2EE status info unavailable.
    I've checked trace files and logs,
    Finally dev_bootstrap says:  "Cannot change to working directory"
    I couldn't find what changes import_properties file which under the E:\usr\sap\<SID>\DVEBMGS00\j2ee\cluster folder.
    Does anyone have any ideas about this issue?
