Hi!
I have two-node cluster on Windows 2000 Adv Server sp4. There are two
instanses of MS SQL 2000 Server sp3, one on each node. I have one
physical disk owened by the first node, that is not used. I need to
transfer it to the second node, name it with the letter this node
already has (removing the disk with this letter from the node by
renaming it or just by deleting) and place on it SQL Server logs that
were located on the disk with this letter.
This is my plan:
1. Transfer disk Z: from node SQL1 to node SQL2
2. Stop sql server and agent services on node SQL2 (or take them
offline with cluster administrator) WHich is better?
3. Copy log files from disk V: to disk Z: on node SQL2
4. Delete disk V: (or rename it as lets say P: ) - I plan to remove
the mirror with the former V: disk from storage
5. Rename disk Z: to disk V: on node SQL2
6. Start sql server and agent services on node SQL2 (or take them
online with cluster administrator)
Is the plan correct? Are there any dangers like (suppose) node signs
its drives and will not accept another disk because of it or because
the disks are a bit different in size? Anything else?
Thanks.
