remove SAN LUN from MSCS 2003 R2 Cluster

[Dougieoz]

Hi Guys,
i have a two node mscs 2003 R2 cluster which i need to remove a couple of volumes presented from an EMC SAN. Does anyone know the procedure or have a link to documentation on how to do this?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Dougie

It's pretty easy. Remove the LUNs from the cluster using the cluster manager. Then remove them from the storage group on the EMC array.

If any services are dependent on the storage you'll need to remove that dependency first which will require taking the service offline in Windows 2003.
