Thanks..
My DBAs found some whitepapers from Microsoft and it actually recommends a
few others. For each node: 2 Data, 2 backup, 2 log, 2 future. Add the
quorum and it is actually 17 drive letters. We are going to be running
multiple instaces.

Partition at the MSA levelâ Not the OS levelâ Dynamic disks are not
supported for clustering.
How did you arrive at 16 drive letters? Youâll need 2 for Data, 2 for
Logs, and 1 for Quorum and 1 for Backup.
Also, itâs 4 primary partitions per diskâ

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?
