Changing Location Information for Volumes

The location information for volumes can be easily changed with the Virtual Ticket Developer client. For removable storage volumes, this may be a frequent occurrence and you should consider marking the volume as Removable. For most users, however, changing volume location information is likely to be an infrequent occurrence and the result of changes to the storage configuration in your environment.

Changing volume location information and/or marking a volume as Removable is performed by opening the Properties window for a volume. When Properties are displayed for volumes, a Change button is displayed in the window.
