Hey Pegasus,

I got it working. I was referencing my file wrong.

Thanks a lot for your help. I would assign points if I could!!

Hi Pegasus,

Thanks for taking the time to reply with an informative answer. Because
I
am by no means a scripting guru, in your example, what does script.scr
refer to?

For instance with my very simple and basic batch file, how would I
combine
that with the below example to make this work?

I tried looking up some examples but it didnt really touch on the exact
variables...maybe Im just missing the obvious though, and if so I
apologize.

Thanks kindly.

Is it possible to create a batch file that will reconnect a dynamic
disk
through diskpart? To reconnect a dynamic disk the following commands
are
necessary

diskpart
select disk X
online

That command would and does bring an offline dynamic disk back online.
However when I run that through a batch file it hangs at the following
prompt:

Diskpart>

Its almost as if external interactive commands are prohibited from
running
for saftey precautions.

Is there a work around to this or can anyone give some advice.

Just FYI, I am trying to do this for an iSCSI SAN that has dynamic
disks
configured on a connected server, since Microsoft's iSCSI initator
does
not
support dynamic disks I am looking for a work around from purchasing
an
iSCSI HBA just for dyanmic disk support.

Thanks



The standard method is to pipe the subcommands into
diskpart via a script file:

@echo off
echo > c:\script.scr select disk X
echo >> c:\script.scr online
diskpart < c:\script.scr
