Hi

We have a client that wants to implement a SAN to be shared by other
servers.

How do you setup a SQL server to use the SAN array? The client only has one
SQL server (node).

I have implemented SQL onto Active/Active and Active/Passive clustering
before, but i am confuse to just how to install single SQL node to a SAN
array (i.e no failover)

Can anyone give me some pointers please

Regards

James
