Hard Drive Configuration

[sdruhl]

Hey Guys,

I am going to setup a SQL cluster with 2 servers.
My thought was to install 2 hard drives in each server and mirror them. I was going to load the OS and SQL on those drives. I was going to use my External Raid5 SCSI array for my quorum, Databse Files and Transaction Log files. I was going to create 2 partitions, 1 for the quorum and 1 for the databse/trans files. Is this correct? Any help on the way the hard drives should be setup would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

SQL 2000, is very fussy about having the Quorum on a physically seperate disk.

Also you may want to create seperate disks for Databases, Transaction logs, indexes and backups.

You can do this run, From %Systemroot%\Cluster, run "cluscfg -localquorum".
