Confirm that the affected disk is available. For more information, see "Reviewing hardware, connections, and configuration of a disk in cluster storage." If the disk has failed, see "Assigning a functioning disk to a clustered service or application if the previously assigned disk has failed."
If you do not currently have Event Viewer open, see "Opening Event Viewer and viewing events related to failover clustering."
To perform the following procedures, you must be a member of the local Administrators group on each clustered server, and the account you use must be a domain account, or you must have been delegated the equivalent authority.
To review hardware, connections, and configuration of a disk in cluster storage:
CLUSTER RESOURCE DiskResourceName /PRIV >path\filename.TXT
For DiskResourceName, type the name of the disk resource, and for path\filename, type a path and a new filename of your choosing.
To assign a functioning disk to a clustered service or application if the previously assigned disk has failed:
With the Repair button, you can assign a different disk to this service or application. The disk that you assign must be one that can be used for clustering but is not yet clustered.
Caution The Repair button does not recover data.
You can restore the data to the disk before or after using the Repair button.
