you need to split the disks out as you see fit ensuring that they are big enough for db growth and that you can easily add more disk space should it become an issue

there are lots of good resources if yoy do a quick google search on creating a sql cluster

Disk setup for

Active/passive cluster is:

1 Disk Quorum - 1 gb

1 Disk MSDTC - 1 gb

1 LUN UserDb Data

1 LUN UserDb Logs

1 LUN SystemDB Data/Logs

1 LUN tempdb Data

1 LUN tempdb Logs

Is it good to go !!! OR

there is no issue in that its the capacity splits that you need to worry about, but only you can decide this as you should know roughly how the database will grow with the users and business

the drive sizes are ok as long as they are big enough to factor in growth, so you dont want to put in a db now which will grow to 200GB in a couple of days and then find that you need more space and need to reconfigure the cluster, should be planning for atleast a year or more capacity

Exactly how many disks do you have?

Are they local disks?
