mirroring |

Is it possible to use a mirrored partiton as a shared drive for the cluster
service, and the quorum?
I want to setup two SAN drive bays and connect both of them to each cluster
node by FC and then setup a software mirroring using Windows 2003. So both
SAN drive bays have always the whole data, and if one fails, Windows still
can work with the other one. Is it still possible to setup a cluster service
using the mirrored drives?
I know that this solution is not very perfomant, but I only need a high
availibility and do not need a very perfomant system. |

Software mirroring of a cluster resource will not work.

....unless you use 3rd party software. You would need to purchase something
like VxVM to accomplish this.
