How to Create A DB on Remote

  • Hi,

  • It's looking for a local drive. If you are using shared storage, such as connecting to a SAN or SCSI drive array, there should be appropriate hardware (and/or software) to make the drives appear local to Windows 2000. From Books Online:

    quote:


    Important Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 data and transaction log files must not be placed on compressed file systems or a remote network drive, such as a shared network directory.


    I don't know of any workaround but perhaps someone else does. Essentially, SQL Server wants to make sure that something as simple as a broadcast storm or even someone tripping over the cord doesn't break the connection it has to the database files.
