Hi everybody,
I have configured a three istances SQL server 2008 in a clustered environment. I have added a storage using the cluster failover manager (precisely a 65 GB LUN) to one istance, because i wanted to putmy logs there. So my instance has two disks: one intended for the data and one for the logs. By connecting to the instance thru Sql Server Management Studio , i am not able to "see" the disk i have added...basically i can only see my data drive. i have tried to remove and re-add the disk again but without any measure of success :(

Could someone please advise?. I am pretty a newbie.
Thanks,
Regards,
Max from Italy

Is the drive a cluster resource? Has it been set as a dependency of the SQL Service resource?

Gail,
Thanks for the answer...
No..the dependancy report shows there are no dependencies for this resource.....how can i add the drive as a dependency for the istance?

Thanks in advance,
Max

Restart the instance that you're setting the drive as a dependency of. Odd, I though setting dependencies required the group to be offline.
