Author Re: SAN drive config for SQL Cluster

Hi,

First, thanks for your responses which helped me to setup/running SQL
cluster in SAN. Now I have another question regarding SQL Server Clustering
and SAN.

We plan to have 2-instance (1 StandBy) Cluster running on SAN.

What would be the best RAID configuration using SAN.

Disk Drives/Space not an issue?

Any comments/feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Kamal.
