Cluster Disk corruption

Hi All,

recently I had an issue when during failover on our 2003 A/A file cluster on of the disk has entered pending online status but didn't come online nor it didn't fail. In event log I saw messages about corruption of that disk. I did change the properties of that disk by running "cluster res "Affected_Disk" /priv Skipchkdks=1" but then I was looking for some way how to force this disk go offline or move it to the other node. Only way I could think off at that moment was to move all groups to other node expect of one with corrupted disk and then I stopped cluster service on the node owning corrupted disk resource and respective group which forced that group to failover. After this the disk and the group came online, then I've run chkdsk to correct any errors on the disk.

I'm wondering if you guys know any other way how to force resource group to go offline or failover under such circumstances. Thank you.
