If you previously mounted an iSCSI virtual disk locally on the iSCSI target server but no longer need local access to the disk, you can dismount it. As a result, the virtual disk will no longer appear as a local disk.
 Caution |
|---|
| Ensure that the disk is not in use before dismounting it. Failure to do so can cause data corruption. |
Membership in the local Administrators group, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure. Review the details in "Additional considerations" in this topic.
