Hello, we are trying to plan a backup plan by putting hyper-v export images
on a LUN of a fibre channel SAN (GPT disk, basic volume, formatted in NTFS
with windows 2003
preliminary tasks : On Windows 2003
1)Create GPT disk, basic disk, format NTFS
2)Unassigne drive letter
On windows 2008 :
1) make disk online and assign drive letter (the same use on 2003)
1) copy of exports to the unit
2) unmount disk letter
3) make disk offline
On 2003 :
1) assign drive letter (make offline is not available with diskpart on 2003)
2) try to get access to the volume, but it shows no content
It should work, since cluster operations on shared storage do these kind of
operations, so if anyone has any clue about what might be the problem...
I thought is could work because of the NTFS used is the 2003 version, but
now i suppose that Windows 2008 updates to the new transactional NTFS as
soon as it detects a legacy formatted disk, but i may be wrong.
