Cluster Shared Volumes Mount Point

  • 772

I am using Cluster Shared Volumes on Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V. The different volumes available have different sizes, and are physically located on different disks on the SAN. These volumes defaulted to labels such as C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1. I know that it is not possible / recommended to change where the CSV mount points are (C:\ClusterStorage), but I want to change the rest of the path to be a more useful name than "Volume1".

In the Failover Cluster Manager, under Cluster Shared Volumes, I can see these CSVs, and they are working just fine. When I go into their properties, I can see a list, which has the mount point listed, but the entries are not modifiable.

How can I change the mount point of a Cluster Shared Volume in Windows Server 2008 R2?

    You can just rename the mount points like any regular folder in Windows: Right-click the mount point in Windows explorer and select rename.

  2. The best way would be to move the VMs to another mount point, then you can rename the mount point and then move the VMs back to it.
