Move Disk cluster resource to a diffrent cluster group
Hello,
I am running a Windows Server 2003 Windows cluster with three SQL 2005 instances. So the Windows cluster groups and their reasources look similar like that:
SQLGroup1:
--------------------------
Disk M:\
Disk S:\
Disk T:\
SQL IP address
SQL Network name
SQL Server
SQL Agent
SQL Fulltext
SQLGroup2:
--------------------------
Disk U:\
Disk V:\
Disk W:\
SQL IP address
SQL Network name
SQL Server
SQL Agent
SQL Fulltext
SQLGroup3:
--------------------------
Disk X:\
Disk Y:\
Disk Z:\
SQL IP address
SQL Network name
SQL Server
SQL Agent
SQL Fulltext
The Cluster Group SQLGroup3 has been shut down since a while now and I want to move the cluster resource 'Disk Y:\' and 'Disk Z:\' into the Cluster Group3 so it is available to the SQL instance using this cluster group. However when I tried that last night then I was asked if I want to move the other resoues in the group as well. If I clicked on 'No' then nothing happend when I clicked on 'Yes' then all got moved. But I only want to move the disk cluster resources.
Do I have to delete the disk resource from SQlGroup3 and then create a new in SQLGroup1?
Thank you

I removed the dependencies and that worked like a champ.

You are right. The SQL Server cluster resource has the disks listed as resource dependencies. The cluster is in production so I will have to wait until off hours to move the disks but I will definatly give that a try and then let you know.
Thank you
