Recover shared disks using either the Dumpcfg option from the Microsoft 2000 Resource Kit or Clusterrecovery from the Microsoft 2003 Resource Kit, which helps automate the recovery process or by performing a manual recovery.
To recover all shared disks using Dumpcfg
Disable the cluster disk driver on all nodes in order to gain access to the new disk.
On the Computer Management menu, select System Tools. Then select Device Manager.
Right-click the cluster disk driver, and then select Disable.
Replace and then repartition the shared disk. Use Disk Manager to verify that all nodes have access to the same shared disk.
Run Dumpcfg or Clusterrecovery to replace the disk signature for the Quorum disk.
Using a remote Backup Exec server, restore the cluster files to the Quorum disk via the node that has access to the disk.
On the Computer Management menu, select System Tools. Then select Device Manager.
Right-click the cluster disk driver, and then select Enable.
To recover all shared disks without using Dumpcfg
Uninstall all cluster applications and the cluster software from both nodes.
Replace and then use Disk Manager to repartition the shared disk to the previously saved configuration.
Reinstall the cluster-aware version of Backup Exec for Windows Servers on the cluster.
Reinstall additional cluster-aware software applications on the shared disk.
