New Physical Disk |
|
|
Hello!
I've just created two new Logical Drives on my SAN, on the same physical
drive.
I'm using Windows Cluster with two nodes to access this SAN.
I'm trying to get the new drives configured in MSCS as new resources,
physical drives.
I can see the drives from Windows Disk Management without any problem. I've
created a primary partition on each drive.
When I setup a new physical disk resource un Cluster Admin, at the last
stage, I cannot find the newly created disks/partitions. AM I doing something
wrong or what?
The aim is to use the new disks to host th shadow copies of the main shared
disks.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Frederi |

Yep, these are not physical drives, they are partitions.

Hi Russ,
I maybe wrong but as it's a SAN drive, Windows sees the partition as a
physical drive.
After some days off, and a reboot of the servers, I've tried again and the
process went fine, I can create my resource.

If it is a SAN drive, then the SAN device provides a LUN, which to Windows
is like a physical disk.
