Default Dynamic disk - 02-15-2005 , 07:40 PM






Does clustering supports dynamic disk mirroring with SAN? As cluster
has single point of failure of disk, we want to mirror the databases.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

As Rodney pointed out, Clustering does not support Windows Dynamic Disks.
SAN vendors may provide some LUN mirroring capabilities, but that is outside
the scope of SQL server.
