multiple clusters on single quorum drive - 09-24-2008 , 02:42 PM

I currently have an SQL 2000 active/passive cluster that has a quorum
drive. I am planning on setting up an additonal SQL 2005 active/
passive cluster, but I have a question about the quorum drive. Is it
possible to set this up to share the quorum drive that the original
cluster uses. So basicly, the LUN that is presented to my original
cluster would also be presented to my new cluster.

Thanks

Cluster and Quorum drive is a one-to-one relationship.

You can use a fairly small LUN for the quorum drive. I typically use a 1-2
GB slice.
