Default MNS Quorum Drive - 06-29-2004 , 09:37 AM






Hi,

Can we do this:

Configuration: A 3-node SQL server cluster that uses a
majority node set (MNS) quorum. The quorum would be an MNS
quorum where the quorum is stored locally on each node's
system disk. There is no shared storage. Each node has an
internal RAID-1 mirrored disk. So it looks like just one
disk local to the node.

We want to install Windows 2003 Enterprise, SQL Server
Enterprise, the database, and the MNS quorum drive on each
local disk. Is this a supported configuration? I was
reading that the database and quorum should be on
different disks but what about and when you have an MNS
quorum?

Thanks,
Todd

Majority Node Set is not supported for SQL Clustering.
