add disk to sql 2000 cluster

  • I need to add a disk to a sql 2000 cluster. I remember how to add the disk through cluster administrator, but what I can't remember is if sql has to be ran for the sql server to recognize the disk? We will be using this new disk for backups.

    Does someone know or can you point me to a good article?

    The new disk shoould be added to the failover group through cluster administrator. Then (and this is optional) you may want to add it as a dependancy of the SQL service (done through advanced).

    Have a look at this doc (first thing that came up in Google) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc917693.aspx.

    SQL doesnt need to know about the drive unless you start hosting databases on it (hence the dependancy tip). So shoould be straight forward.

    Good luck 😀
