I have a SAN level snapshot\clone of a Windows cluster shared volume (CSV) whocj i want to mount on the same cluster to retrieve files, as form of backup.
As detailed here: Accessing a storage-side snapshot of a cluster-shared volume
... there are issues with mounting a clone of CSV on the same cluster due to GUID clash.
I have worked out how to achieve what i want with a workaround that does not really.. work for me. I can mount this snaphot\clone of the CSV on another Windows machine, get the disk object via Powershell like so:
$disk = get-disk -Number *number*
... Powershell has a set-disk method, which enables me to change the disk ID:
Set-Disk -Guid {New GUID}
I can now mount this clone back into the same cluster, there is now no GUID clash and i can access it as it were any other NTFS volume.
What i would like to do is change this disk identifier via a Linux machines so i can automate the process sensibly. I see a see examples of how this may be possible if the disk is MBR, but is the feasible if the machine is GPT?
Any help would would be greatly appreciated.
