Eliminating a Cluster Resource when the other W2K3 nodes aren't available


i accidentally created physical disk resource a w2k3 cluster.  once upon time, cluster had had 2 nodes.  1 of nodes died.  now, of course, since there no other node, cluster administrator won't let me delete it.

the physical disk resource points san disk.   wanted check whether san disk in question, letter f:, become clusterable.  somehow, although f: drive avaialable in dialog, physical disk resource ended pointing c: drive.

is there way kill off uneeded physical disk resource command prompt?

and:  ha!  playing around did same thing on again. now, have 2 physical disk resources point local c: drive.

thanks, if can me.

 

 

 

 

first, why believe disks pointing @ c:\ drive? going parameters listed in cluster gui? if so, disk resource online, or failed/offline? if failed or offline, "parameter" field looking @ rather unreliable.

you can evict other cluster node , delete resource, or hack disks out of cluster hive. evicting , deleting easiest way delete disks.
