MCS support for assigning drive letter for MCSIO WBC disk

Citrix Provisioning

Previously, the drive letter of MCSIO WBC disk was determined by Windows OS and was usually either D or E drive.  With this feature, you can now assign the WBC drive letter from the web Studio console or through PowerShell Provisioning SDK. This avoids any conflict arising because of applications using the specific drive letter.

  • For the web Studio console, you can set the drive letter for WBC disk in the Disk Settings page.
  • For PoSH SDK, the New-ProvScheme provides a new parameter called WriteBackCacheDiskLetter <Drive Letter>  to specify WBC drive letter.

WBC drive letter is applicable to only new VMs. It cannot be changed once the VM is created.
