George/ Perry,

First George I apologize to you ..I was thick as a brick when I read your response. Perry thanks for reinforcing. What I had to do to fix the issue was there:

There was an existing dependency for SQL Server that the mount point be online. What I had to do was place a dependency on the mount point that the disk arrays that hold "data, backup and tempdb" are online before the mount point shows online.

I didn't have to set this dependency on previous clusters I've built but this is a different SAN so I've asked that team to take a look if there is an issue.

Thanks for the input!!

Kevin
