We have a SQL 2005 active-passive clustered environment running under Windows 2003 R2. We recently purchased a new and faster SAN and I was able to move all the files and cluster resources fine but when it came to moving the Quorum resource we ran into issues.
I tried to remove the old quorum drive from the cluster resources but it was tied as a dependency to the MSDTC cluster resource. When I tried to remove the old quorum drive from that resource and add in the new quorum drive as a dependency, the MSDTC resource failed. It caused the Cluster group resources which include the cluster name and cluster IP resources to fail continually between node A and node B until it gave up and just marked the MSDTC resource as Failed. I changed it back to use Q: drive and brought the MSDTC resource back online.
any ideas in how I can change the MSDTC resource to use the new quorum drive in the new SAN?
Thanks
