Getting SQL 2005 to see all shared drive on an MSCS Cluster - 08-25-2008 , 10:40 AM

I have a MSCS Cluster residing within two esx hosts, there are three
shared disks and a quorum drive, each is currently available to the
server and cluster. The problem is during the installation I was only
able to select one of the shared drives.

How do I get SQL to see the other drives? I would like to place my
logs and backups on the other drives.

Put the disk resources in the same group as SQL.
Make the SQL Service dependent on the disk resources. Look at the existing
SQL-Disk dependency and match that.
