SQL Server Failover Cluster

  • Hello Everybody

    i have a question, a provider prepare 2 servers with windows server 2008 failover clustering, they said than the storage must be deactivate, and SQL Server prepares itself the partition with its own, but i not sure about this, i think than the storage must be active and prepared by windows...

    please help me with this

  • The storage needs to be active and presented to all nodes on a cluster. You dont need to make the disk available to windows as a file system drive (you could), the SQL installation will prepare the drive and add it to the correct cluster group.

    I think this is what you vendor is trying to convey.
