  Hello!

  We will be installing SQL Server 2008 Active/Active Cluster on Windows 2008. SAN engineer told us that all space will be allocated across the same set of drives. I know this is not recommended because of potential IO issues, but I guess this is something we would have to live with. The question we would have to answer right now is whether we should create one LUN per Node (my understanding is that the same LUN can not be shared by two nodes) and then create logical drives from single LUN or one LUN per logical drive. I suppose there will be no difference performance wise since LUNs will be connected to the same set of drives, correct?

  Also, SAN engineer told us that RAID level is irrelevant which I have hard time believing to.

  Thank you in advance,

  Igor
