It can use a file share or disk but also can use neither depending on the cluster configuration.Tue, 26 Feb 2013 23:36:18 GMTPerry Whittlehttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1421127-1549-1.aspxThanks Perry and EdVassie,Yes your input to have separate volume have helped me here. I was able to configure the Active/ Active cluster. So the current structure is 2 node failover active / active clusterNode X and Node Y.One windows cluster2 MSDTC and 2 SQL named instance with failover node X and Y.One question It only take one single quorum disk. Why is this? I have 2 public, 2 private and 5 virtual IPS.2 for MSDTC , 2 Virtual SQL Server NW name and one for windows cluster virtual name.Tue, 26 Feb 2013 22:58:18 GMTMinazhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1421127-1549-1.aspxIt looks like you have got all your drives mapped as separate partitions on a single Windows volume.You need to rebuild this so that each drive letter has its own Windows volume.Cluster failover works at the Windows volume level, not at the partition level.Tue, 19 Feb 2013 02:44:59 GMTEdVassiehttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1421127-1549-1.aspxCan you supply more info about how the storage is mapped, it seems to be mapped as one large disk group. The group doesn't contain a disk small enough for the MSDTC resource, the smallest is currently 70GB.Tue, 19 Feb 2013 01:41:56 GMTPerry Whittlehttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1421127-1549-1.aspxThanks Perry, for taking this up.When I select Storage from the failover cluster I could see only 1 disk available with 900 GB in size and if I expand that disk I could see all the parttions but not able to map these partitions while configuring MSDTC .
