Re: Quorum drive

It is a test cluster. But What happened was I created 1 logical drive (RAID
1+0). Then in Disk Management under windows, I created separate partitions
1Gb (Q Drive) and 800GB (E Data drive)

then ran cluster setup but Qurom failed to detect shared resources. I select
advance minimum and all it did was point my quorum to c:\windows\cluster

there was absolutely no choice in selecting where I can put my quroum,. I
want qurom on Q which is on the shared array

Is this a test cluster? If so don't worry about it. Leave it all on Q and
leave why this is such a bad idea :)

Do you want to follow best practices? If so Nuke and Pave. Then create a
Logical disk of 1 GB for the Quorum, and the rest for the data.

Sometimes we learn by doing things over and over and over again.

Does the Q Quroum drive have to be on a separate disk?

Because I created a raid 1+0 RAIDarray out of 6 300GB drives on a dell
powervault 220 which has both my Q and Data drive (shared)
