• Change the current drive assignment for a server
• Assign the virtual drive to no server.

prompting the IT administrator for the new virtual drive name.

space within the storage pool in which the virtual drive resides.
Initialize Boot Sector Clears the first 64 MB of data that is used on boot disks for the
Master Boot Record, which ensures that a fresh volume for

Change Affinity Changes the storage control module affinity for the selected virtual

active use, there will be a slight pause in system I/O while
the failover operation is handled by the multipath driver on
the host operating system.
