Clustering question

in active-passive 2 node windows 2008 cluster currently in production use, added 2 new drives , it's showing under available storage. how can add these 2 new drives sql server dependencies? please let me know thanks. sqldev the recommendation before adding new storage cluster ensure passes cluster validation storage tests. these include disk failover tests .  when cluster validation performed on configured cluster, if default tests (which include storage tests) selected, disk resources in offline state or not assigned clustered service or application used testing storage. builds in safety mechanism, , cluster validation wizard warns when storage tests have been selected but not run on storage in online state , is, storage used clustered services or applications. design avoid disruption highly available services or applications depend upon these disk resources being online. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771259.aspx#diskfailover http://technet.micr

Users in More Than One Local Group

hello, we have servers (windows server 2003) in single user in more 1 local group.  example, there user in both the administrators , power users groups.  don't know why set this, i'm wondering the pros , cons of situation (if any). what permissions granted user--administrators or power users?  is, windows give user or least restrictive permissions? any other issues should aware of given scenario? thanks.   user's effective rights equal whatever granted each group.  in example administrators group grants many more rights power users group, assignment bit redundant.  if non-default permission or access resoruces assigned power users group not assigned administrator group, not redundnant.  way know sure perform full security audit of servers , resources.  there no harm in leaving group assignment on existing users. jeff schertz, pointbridge | mvp | mcitp: enterprise messaging Windows Server
