you don't want to do that for cluster management reasons. if you only have
one disk as well (sounds like it since you only have one group) you also
never want to put anything other than the qorum on the quorum disks.
Basically, you want to split all your resources out by functions. The
defatul name, IP and quorum disk are there for cluster management and
that's waht they should be used for. I cannot tell you how many customers
use these resources for other things and later find that when they want to
change things in their cluster, they are pretty much screwed because all
their resources use the same name and IP.
