Default Quorum on NAS - 06-23-2004 , 08:24 AM






In a two node SQL server cluster, with each computer in
the cluster storing the database on its local hard drive,
is it OK to have the quorum drive on a NAS/network server.

So the database will be direct attached on one server. The
database will be replicated to another computer with a
direct attached disk. But the Quorum drive that they share
will be a drive on the network.

Is that good practice?

Thanks,
Todd

NAS is not supported in a cluster.
