W2K SP2 2-node cluster for Exchange 5.5 SP4 on Dell 2450's connected to Dell 650F via dual Brocade 2400. I am rebuilding this guy now, so it is pre-production and Exchange is not yet installed due to the problem described below.
Disk configuration went great: RAID1 for Quorum (Q, RAID1 for Logs (L, RAID5 for Information Store (I. No problem with the Cluster Service install. Q: is in the default group with IP Address and Network Name resources. L: and Q: each have their own group. BUT, when I do a move group for all three groups, the drive letters Q:, L:, I: are not visible on the newly active node. They show up in Disk Management and CluAdmin correctly reports which node owns them, but I cannot get to them via My Computer or CMD. If I restart the passive node (like I would if I was doing a SP upgrade or something similar), the cluster service fails on the active node with event id's:
1016 - Microsoft Clustering Service failed to obtain a checkpoint from the cluster database for log file Q:\MSCS\quolog.log.
AND
1038 - Reservation of cluster disk '' has been lost. Please check your system and disk configuration.
Ideas, comments, stabs in the dark appreciated.
