Accidentally make clustered disk online on non-clustered server

Hi,

I have Sql failover cluster deployed and recently the second node is corrupted, thus I have removed it from the cluster and reinstalled a fresh windows server. Before i install failover clustering features and add this server into the cluster, I have presented the LUNs (shared disk used by sql cluster) to the fresh new server.

I made a mistake which is to make the disks (LUNs) online at the fresh new server which im not supposed to do so.. So, the fresh server is trying to make that disk online with different drive letter and it causing the disk management failed to connect to virtual disk services and diskpart in cmd also not working.

The current active node in cluster is still working fine as I can see all the disks are online, and I'm able to create database/delete it. So I'm assuming the disks and cluster is ok and does not impact by my mistake.

However, on the fresh server, I can't install any roles and features, and can't use disk management nor diskpart command. If I remove the LUNs from that server using MPIO, the server will back to normal. But if I add back the LUNs into MPIO, issue comes back as the server is still trying to bring up the disk.

I'm running out of idea on how to fix this issue. Hope anyone from technet can help me out.
