Missing local drive after changing operating system

[notrix 3]

Hi,

 

I'm currently in a process of updating to Server 2016. It's a huge task, so I only changed the harddrive thats holding the operating system and installed a fresh new server 2016 (so that I alsways can go back to the old running system).

Drivepool recognized my pooled disks without a problem. Also clouddrive managed to find everything, after i had done the reauthorize process.

The problem now: clouddrive had a local drive with a drive letter assigned (so i could access the data) in the old system. After the reinstall clouddrive bound perfectly fine to my account, but I have

no local disk - so I can not access the data there. This sounds stupid - but how can I tell clouddrive to create a new disk?

I allready checked if the drive is there but has no drive letter assiged - but no.

 

clouddrive verison 1.0.2.895 beta on Server 2016.

 

Thanks!

Ah fixed it - stupid me.

The whole disk was offline - checked with diskpart and switched it online.

It would be nice to see and react to such things in the gui :-).

That would do it.  

 

And yeah, by default, Windows Server sets all new disks as "offline".

You can change this with the "san policy" in diskpart.  It may be a good idea  for the future.
