Partition at the MSA level. Not the OS level. Dynamic disks are not
supported for clustering.
How did you arrive at 16 drive letters? You'll need 2 for Data, 2 for Logs,
and 1 for Quorum and 1 for Backup.
Also, it's 4 primary partitions per disk.

Subject: [THIN] OT - Partition MSA1500
All,
I have an MSA1500 that I want to partition for an active-active SQL cluster.
Is it better to partition the drives at the MSA level into multiple small
arrays, or should I create two arrays (1 for each cluster node) and
partition with Disk Manager? In the end, I need 16 drive letters. If I go
with Disk Manager, I can only have 4 primary partitions so I will have to
create an extended partition and use volumes.
What say Ye?
