Important
Before creating the ServeRAID logical cluster resource, you must assign a permanent
(sticky) drive letter to the shared logical drive on both servers.
When configuring a cluster, you must assign a permanent drive letter because the two
servers must have the same drive letters on each shared logical drive. If you do not assign
permanent drive letters, Windows NT might assign different drive letters on each server. You
must assign a permanent drive letter to ensure Windows NT assigns the same drive letter
to the partition on both servers.
a. Click Start in the lower-left corner of the screen; then, click Programs →
Tools → Administrative Tools → Disk Administrator. The Disk
Administrator window opens.
b. Click the partition that you want to assign a permanent drive letter.
c. Click Tools → Assign Drive Letter. The Assign drive letter window opens.
d. In the Assign drive letter pull-down menu, click the drive letter for the
partition.
e. Click OK. Windows NT permanently assigns the selected drive letter to that
partition, even if you add new partitions or rearrange your controllers.
f. To exit the Disk Administrator, click Partition → Exit.
a. Using the ServeRAID Manager program, scan for new or removed ready
drives.

permanent (sticky) drive letter as in step 1.
