    The compatibility is set to SQL Server 2005 (90). That is why I thought the .bak would be formatted correctly using the backup utility from SQL 2008 R2.

    It's got nothing to do with the version of SSMS. It's got to do with the version of SQL Server engine.

    If a drive is not a cluster resource and a dependency of the SQL service, SQL cannot even see that drive. Hence if you do an ALTER DATABASE and set...

    I think this is another case where task manager is wrong (for whatever reason). Look at those perfmon counters. Total server memory (amount of memory currently used) is 11GB, not...

  • RE: Clustering Servers with Direct Attached Drives

    Can you configure direct attached drives as cluster resources? A clustered SQL Server can only use drives that are configured as cluster resources and are dependencies of the SQL service.

    After posting I changed the server memory max and min to 16384 and 20480 respectively
