    Hi Brendan,

    Thanks for your posting here.

    Yes, Dynamic disks are not supported for use with Windows Clustering.

    You can use the third-party add-on software Veritas Volume Manager for
    Windows 2000 to add the dynamic disk features to a server cluster
    infrastructure. If you install Veritas Volume Manager and configure Volume
    Manager Disk Group resources, contact Veritas Support for server cluster
    issues that are related to those resources.

    For additional information about Veritas Volume Manager, click the article
    number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    Dynamic Disk Configuration Unavailable for Server Cluster Disks

    Have a nice day!
