Drive

[The Drive property is available for use in Windows Server 2003. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions.]

Remarks

The Drive property is used to create Physical Disk resources with the command-line tool Cluster.exe. Make sure that the assigned drive letter does not conflict with existing drive letters anywhere in the cluster, including each node's local drives.

The CLUSPROP_SZ_DECLARE macro creates a CLUSPROP_SZ structure with an array of the correct size.

Examples

The property value portion of a property list entry for Drive can be set with the following example code.

WCHAR                szDriveData[] = L"D:";
CLUSPROP_SZ_DECLARE( DriveValue, 
                     sizeof( szDriveData ) / sizeof( WCHAR ) );

DriveValue.Syntax.dw = CLUSPROP_SYNTAX_LIST_VALUE_SZ;
DriveValue.cbLength  = sizeof( szDriveData );
StringCbCopy( DriveValue.sz, DriveValue.cbLength, szDriveData );
