drives not showing up in explorer


skapy

Question

Hello,

i created a encrypted drive on ACD.

I uploaded some files and after succesfull upload i detached the drive.

Now i was trying to attach the drive to another pc.

I can attach the drive and unlock it ut its not showing up in my explorer.

I went to the "computer management" and then to the "disk management" and i saw that the attached drive was "offline".

I rightclicked on it and clicked on "online".

Now its pinning and i can see it now in my explorer.

 

now my question:

Do you know why the drive is set to "offline"?

 

I have on both pcs the same settings.

OS: win server 2012 r2, xeon cpu, 32gb ram, 2tb hdd

 

best regards

Yeah, Servers set all new disks as "offline" by default. This is the default "SAN" policy for servers (it's in part a security measure).

 

If you want, you can fix this. 

To do so:

  1. Hit "Win+X", and then "A" (accept the UAC prompt)
  2. Run "diskpart"
  3. run "san policy=OnlineAll"
  4. run "exit"

This will cause new disks to show up as "online" by default.
