When trying to create a database on a cluster node with
drives D: Data and F: Log the following error occurs.

Server: Msg 5184, Level 16, State 2, Line 2
Cannot use file 'F:\StressDb1_Log.LDF' for clustered
server. Only formatted files on which the cluster resource
of the server has a dependency can be used.

I'm not sure what "the cluster resource of the server"
is???
Anyone who has a clue??

Sounds like you're trying to place the files on a local
disk. On a clustered instance of SQL Server, all files
for a DB must reside on the shared disk array. That drive
is a dependency of the SQL Server resource, and resides in
the group with the SQL Server resources.

Any drive that a clustered instance of SQL Server uses must be in the same
resource group as teh SQL Server and SQL Server must have a dependency on
it. You can check these using Cluster Administrator.
