Trying to setup a 2-node cluster on W2k3 Enterprise with a scsi shared storage device. I would like to setup the cluster where both nodes are active AND they can each access the shared storage at the same time. How can I accomplish this? Thanks.

This is just an example as there are many ways to do it.
1 External Storage Device
3 (sperate physical drives) in the device - 1 for quorum drive, 2nd for data, and a 3rd for data.
3 cluster groups created - GroupQ = Quorum, GroupD1 = Data resources, and GroupD2 = Data 2 resources.

GroupD1 resource online on cluster node1, GroupD2 online on cluster node2 = Active/Active. Quorum can live on either node.

Both cluster nodes can not attach to the same drive at the sametime, that is why you use different drives and add them to separate groups.
