Are you considering Failover Clustering?

So, create a small LUN (1GB-4GB) for the Quroum Disk. (iSCSI), it does not have to be very large

But my question is do I have to assign this LUN to a physical disk just for the Quorum or is it safe just to use 1GB from my existing RAID 10 array that resides on the P2000?

Perfect - thanks.<br />
Just some sites out there say they should reside on their &quot;own&quot; physical disk.

Yes, in the old days, when we had physical servers and local storage!<br />

it may have been RAID 1 (mirror) and used as Quroum!

Hello experts,<br />
<br />
I've read through tons of webpage and I cant seem to find a hard answer.<br />
<br />
We are in process of setting up a HP P2000 with our G8 servers and was wondering if the Quorum actually needs its own physical disk in the array? I mean do we have to actually waste a whole physical disk for this?<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
