SQL 2005 only seeing one of EVA Drives - 10-23-2008 , 11:10 AM

In a SQL 2005 cluster it is only one drive which is on the EVA
storage. There are three drives on the EVA and all the drives are
visible in windows explorer. All the SQL components are on this node.

What else can be checked to ensure that all the drives are visible?

Are the drives drive letters from partitions of the one physical disk?

You have to build drives so that they are a single volume/partition to a
physical disk.
