yeah, when you pick a cluster group it looks for disks in that group and automatically assigns the following path; X:\Microsoft SQL Server I have two groups and i can watch it auto upate the drive letter in the path between Q and R... Q, as you can guess is for my Quorum and R is for my data. I obviously try to install with the group containing the R drive, which is 500GB and completely empty... I did notice that for some reason my drives are accessible (not just visable) to both cluster nodes (and its an active passive, i think? or at least that was the goal) Im not entirely sure how to make a cluster a/a vs a/p "Mark B" <nospam (AT) nospam (DOT) com> wrote in message news:uh$c6t7bIHA.4344 (AT) TK2MSFTNGP02 (DOT) phx.gbl... another stupid question perhaps, but when you are installing, does the installer actually list the clustered drive that you are to use for the sql files? If not then the lack of space will be related to the fact that it is not actually seeing a drive with space.

No luck with that... i tried running it from local storage and it still wasnt happy  I guess i'll try burning the CDs... "Justin Rich" <jrich523 (AT) yahoo (DOT) spam.com> wrote in message news:ugW2KIzbIHA.6024 (AT) TK2MSFTNGP06 (DOT) phx.gbl... both C and D have about 28GB and those are the local drives. the Quorum drive is 500MB and is only using about 10MB (hopefully sql doesnt try to touch this drive) and the shared drive has 500GB.. I am installing this from a network share.... im going to move the files local and give that a try... it could make a difference..

Is the quorum disk available with ample free space? How about the volume where you are storing the executables (e.g., c:\program files\yada yada)? "Justin Rich" wrote: so i've built up my w2k3 ent 64bit cluster with no problems... its all happy and working well... created the DTC resource and went to install SQL.. it goes well until it asks what group to put it in and what disk to use for the data files. I select the group and the path it presents is correct. I click Next and it tells me it doesnt have enough space. the drive is a 500GB partition which i would assume is more than large enough. Im able to access the storage just fine, have written data there, it fails over just fine... looks fine to me.. why on earth is it telling me 500GB isnt enough?! PS: if anyone from MS is looking at this, your link to diagnose the error sent me off to a message about using a strong password for SA.... i assume thats wrong  Thanks Justin Error msg details: TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Setup ------------------------------ These is not enough disk space on the destination disk for the current SQL Server data files. To proceed, free up disk space to make room for data files, or install the data files to a different drive.
