    our NetOps guys are apparently using the quorum drive to transfer data to our warm DR site.

    Oh my, that is horrid cluster design. Nothing but nothing should ever go onto the quorum.

    The quorum drive is only responding to what is changing on the SAN drives.

    Shouldn't be doing that. There should be no impact on the quorum from the other drives. It's not a staging drive for other cluster drives, all it should be is there to 'arbitrate' ownership of the cluster

    Heh... that's likely why things have been such a problem in the past. Thanks, Gail. I wasn't going to get involved in the problem but now it looks like I'll have to.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
