Before removing a shared storage system, use Microsoft Cluster Administrator to
bring offline all cluster groups and resources on both cluster nodes. This ensures that
the groups and resources are gracefully brought offline, rather than causing an abrupt
interruption of service by powering off the storage subsystem.
Adding and Configuring Physical Hard Drives
To add and configure new disk drives, see the following sections in Chapter 2:
• “Creating the Storage System and Virtual Disks”
• “Configuring Virtual Disks on the Host”
