Guys,
My PSU has died in my lab so I can't test this out myself at the moment
SQL 2k8r2 cluster consisting of multiple nodes, with multiple instances
If using mount points for the cluster disks, then is a volume mount point root (e.g. the disk that holds the mounted volumes) needed per instance?
I gather the answer is yes, as the disk would be a dependency of the instance and if you wanted to fail that instance over, and you had other instances using that volume mount root they would also fail over as it would be their dependency too.
So in a multi-instance clustered environment, when using mount points you need a volume mount root, per instance.
Hope this makes sense
Cheers,
