Remove Drive Letter or Path Assignments

If you no longer want to associate a filesystem with a particular drive

letter or mount path, you can remove the assignment. Before doing this,

be sure that applications are not currently accessing the filesystem via the

drive letter or mount path.

To remove a drive letter or path assignment, select the filesystem on the

Filesystems tab, right-click, and then select Unassign Paths. A warning

such as the following will be displayed.

After the drive letter or path has been unassigned, you will not be able to

access the filesystem until you assign a new drive letter or path to it.

To remove assignments from the command line, use this command:

mx fs unassign <filesystem> <ALL_SERVERS | server ...>

Filesystem Mounts

In the Windows operating system, a filesystem is automatically mounted

on a server the first time the server attempts to access it. When the server

is shut down, the filesystem is automatically unmounted. Although the

PolyServe Management Console includes options to mount or unmount

filesystems and to edit persistent mounts, these options are greyed out

because they are not relevant for Windows platforms.
