I would have opened the Windows drive management console and changed the drive letter from t: to something else and added t: as additional letter to the d:-drive... (+ maybe created the necessary directories if you placed the TempDB in a special folder as t:\TempDB)

I actually had this issue yesterday. I had to connect using the DAC after starting SQL with the -f option. When trying to connect with just a trusted connection or the "sa" login, I would get login failures. DAC went right in. I haven't seen anything in the documentation about needing DAC but if someone runs into this, don't forget it's available.

I had a discussion about this sort of scenario with my boss a while back when we started getting some odd disk errors. Luckily it was on our test server and not a production box. Hopefully I won't have to test this method out anytime soon!

Stewart "Arturius" Campbell - Friday, January 27, 2017 1:28 AMNice one, thanks Steve - had such a situation recently, where the SAN malfunctioned.
We had our SAN go off the rails once - it was a bit scary. Thankfully, it was just the backup volume, so the data and log volumes were fine. We recovered what we needed, but ended up partitioning a new SAN volume. I'm was very happy we have a network team. 😛

I hope, it was not your only backup copy (and you had mirrors / tape backups) on another media too (otherwise you would have a bad stand, if both, backup and data were corrupt).

Oh no - the backups were also replicated to another SAN (different physical hardware in a different location) and we also had tape backups. And yes, they've both been tested so we know they're good. 😉
