You still need shared Printer disks with MNS and it sounds like you are.

Hello Elden,
Thanks for the timely reply. After I posted this I found the same doument.
Unfortunately, when I got to step 8(f) in the document :
8. To add a Physical Disk resource to the group (this step can be skipped
if
a Disk Resource already exists):
a. Right-click the new spooler resource group (for example,
Spooler-Group1),
point to New, and then click Resource.
b. In the Name box, type a name for the resource (for example, type
Spooler
Disk Resource).
c. In the Resource type list, click Physical Disk, and then click Next.
d. Make sure that the Possible owners list contains the cluster nodes that
you want as possible owners of this resource, and then click Next.
e. On the Dependencies page, click Next (the physical disk resource does
not
have any resource dependencies).
f. In the Disk list, click the physical hard disk that you want to use for
this resource.
g. Click Finish, and then after the resource is successfully created,
click
OK.
At step 8(f) there is no physical disk in the drop down box. I am a bit
confused. I have configured the MNS NODE1, NODE2, NODE3 without any shared
disk. On each node there are file shares that are identical. The data on
each
NODE is local. THe data is on the LOCAL G Drive. The DISK, when I install
W2K3 Advanced Server, was partioned into a C Drive (W2K3 system) and a G
Drive (Files/Data). There are no external storage devices available for
each
NODE. Only the defined LOCAL Drives.
The data does not change. Hence no need for a 3rd party replication
software.
There is no shared disk defined to the MNS NODE1, NODE2, NODE3. This is
where I am confused of how to define a shared disk in a majority node
cluster. Could you please point out what I am doing wrong? If I get past
the
point of being able to see my LOCAL C Drive ot LOCAL G Drive I would be
home
free. But I don't see any drives in the drop down list.
Your help is SO GREATLY APPRECIATED! Thank you again for your post!!! Look
forward to your reply!!

Hi Fred,
Setting your quorum model to MNS just resolves the core services needs
for
a shared disk, it does not address application needs.
Print Clusters require a shared disk, here's a whitepaper I've ground out
that will walk you through getting it all setup.
