Quorum size multinode cluster |
|
|
Hello,
I'm planning on building a cluster that in the future could grow to a 6 or
8 node cluster. What is the advised quorum size for a cluster of this
size? Or are there no minimum sizes except the 512MB NTFS "minimum"?

4096 is the 2003 default and most install never need increase it. If you
will have a lot of file shares, then you might want to increase it. Anything
over 500MB for the LUN, I like 1 GB so the math is easy.
Cheers,
Rod

Also remember that you can always allocate a new LUN to your cluster nodes
and move your quorum to the new larger volume, if needed in the future.
