Hello, we are trying to plan a backup plan by putting hyper-v exportimages
on a LUN of a fibre channel SAN (GPT disk, basic volume, formatted in NTFS2003)
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
2) try to get access to the volume, but it shows no content
It should work
not for GPT, I do not think you should do this with GPT disk. I am not even
sure if it is allowed.
What you should do is create a "transportable VSS snapshot" (this is a
Microsoft Term), which you storage vendor probably have software to do so,
creating a "snapshot or clone" (this is storage vendors terms) which is
basically a disk containing a block level copy of your original data. This
"transportable VSS snapshot" can now be "imported" into the 2003 machine,
and you can read/backup your data.
