SQL clusters - not seeing all drives

  • Hello...I am unable to see all the drives on my cluster using Enterprise Manager.  When I look at the drives on another cluster, it seems that certain drives are labelled differently....I was wondering if I am unable to see certain drives because of the way the server was built. 

    Server 1 - On the sever where I can only see the G drive, it is labelled (using Computer Management) as SQL Data 1 and the H drive is labelled as SQL Data2

    Server 2 - On the server where I can see the G and H drives, the G drive is labelled as SQL database and the H drive as SQL LogFiles

    When I use Enterprise Manager, when creating a job (backup), I can only see the G drive on Server 1 and G & H on Server 2

    Should I be concerned with the differences ? 

    Thanks

  • Are you looking at the same instance of sqlserver ?

    Are server1 and server2 nodes from the same cluster ?

  • Have you made sure that the cluster resources (Physical Disk) is a dependency of the SQL Server Service resource?  By default only the installation disk will be a dependency and be available to SQL Server.

  • You have add cluster disk resource with Cluster Administrator, disk H probality not is a resource cluster.
