Re: Disk is "Read Only" Diskmanager in 2008 server.
Additionally in 2008, they've added a readonly flag at the disk level. One
more flag setting to worry about. For example:
DISKPART> detail disk
PowerDevice by PowerPath
Disk ID: {200467DB-3B3F-4CA4-9191-01B402E44105}
Type : FIBRE
Bus : 0
Target : 0
LUN ID : 27
*** Read-only : Yes ***
Boot Disk : No
Pagefile Disk : No
Hibernation File Disk : No
Crashdump Disk : No
Volume ### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info
---------- --- ----------- ----- ---------- ------- --------- -----
---
Volume 4 G New Volume NTFS Partition 2081 MB Healthy
DISKPART>
To clear this flag, you would type the following:
DISKPART> att disk clear readonly
Disk attributes cleared successfully.
Hope this helps.

John
