Re: cluster group

When I’m testing my clustered servers by breaking network connectivity
(unplug the pub cables. I am using teamed nic), the cluster group failover
the secondary server, but not group 0 which contain the shared disk. When I
move the shared disk from group 0 to cluster group, the shared disk (or
drive) will failover just fine, any reasons?

I did a few other tests, all of them failed over ok.

Thanks.
