Using diskpart to assign drive letter


Recommended Posts

Hi there,

 

The following situation:

 

With the iscsi initiator I will connect a drive on a SAN to my server.

Next I would like to connect a drive letter to that volume.

 

With iscsicli sessionlist I can find the disk number.

Then i use the following script to find the volume number with diskpart

 

select disk x (number of disk found with iscsicli sessionlist) detail disk (to find the volumenumber)

 

After that I would like to assign a driveletter to the disk with the following script:

 

select disk x

select volume x (found with the previous script) assign letter=G

 

But as you probably know (see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937252)

the volumenumbers will change when you start new instance of diskpart.

 

Has anyone any idee how to solve this problem?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Frank
