Re: Not able to add hard drive to cluster

Yes. It has a drive letter. At first I presented the LUN to all the
available servers in the cluster but i was in the same situation. I then
presented the LUN to 1 server and I'm still having the same issue.

It's a very strange issue. There are no errors that I can troubleshoot
with....any ideas would be welcome.

thx.

Did you give the disk a drive letter in Disk Management?

Is this LUN zoned for all members of the cluster?

Yes I can see the hard drive via disk mgmt. I have no issues accessing
the
drive on the server. The drive has been NTFS formatted and is set as a
basic
disk.

That's were I'm getting stuck. When I attempt to add the new hard
drive
via
the cluster administration there is no hard drive present for me to
choose.
I've assigned the LUN to only that server.

Not sure why this is happening.

Can you see it at all via disk manager?
