Can you format a partition as "dynamic" and use SQL server on it?
I currently have a windows 2003 server connected to a SAN.
Local disk (drive C) on the server is a basic partition.
drives D and E are on the EMC storage but partitioned as "dynamic".
Before I get too far, will I have a problem with SQL server loaded on the
local C drive (basic partition) storing files out on the D and E drive
(dynamic partitions)?
Thanks--Mark ThorsenIf you are using a failover cluster, you would have a problem. See this KB
article http://support.microsoft.com/?id=237853. It states:
"Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Windows 2000 Datacenter Server, Windows
Server 2003 Enterprise Edition and Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition
support only basic shared disks in an environment that uses the Windows
Server failover clustering feature."
