Hi I am currently building a 3 node cluster and have hit a snag.
The cluster is built and all looks OK

I have node 3 as the passive node.
I have installed a virtual SQL Server on node 1, with node 3 as passive. Node 1 has 6 disks for which it is the owner O,P,R,S,T,U
The system DB files are on O:

I am trying to install another virtual instance on node 2, again with node 3 passive. THis has disks F,G,H,I,J,K
During the install I specify that it is to use disk F for the data files.

When it gets to the database services install, I get a message that an unexpected error has been encountered erroe 183. And another pop up saying that O:\ is an Invalid Drive. Nowhere have I specified drive O: as I cant see it anyway as its owned by node 1.

I have googled this and cant find anything, I have checked the registry on node 2 and cant find any reference to O: I am pulling my hair out !! Does anybody have any ideas

Thanks
Tom

Did node 3 own any resource at that time?

We've hit this problem before...

re-presenting the volumes to all the nodes fixed the issue for us

I'm also geting the same problem with exactly the same scenario!, as explained previously!,

please explain in more detail about how i re-presenting the vloumes to all nodes?, does that mean disconnecting the disks and re-mounting them again?

thanks in advance,
