How to set up a cluster with the boot disk and quorum disk on the same storage bus ?

-

hi all,

  trying install new cluster under windows 2003 enterprise x64 on couple of hp blade bl460c g7 servers.

  have configured windows 2003 "boot on san", since these blade server not have internal hard drives. connected emc storage.

     have assigned shared disks both servers, windows sees quorum disk ok.

  when run cluster configuration wizard, won't use quorum disk, on log next error:

the physical disk "disk q:" cannot managed because on same storage bus boot disk. (hr=00000000, {13e84779-125e-4b76-8c0d-1f5db92efe0f}, {d0ac416e-c6ce-43ab-846a-10f071b30522}, 1, 1, 1), cluster cannot manage physical disks on same storage bus volume contains operating system because other nodes connected storage bus cannot distinguish between these volumes , volumes used data.

each server has 2 hbas (emulex nc553i) configured, using multipathing software (emc powerpath 5.5)

  there workaround ?  how can cluster detect , use quorum disk ?

i don't have budget right hbas nor local boot disks.

any appreciated.

hi,

any specific reason why using windows 2003? it's old technology nowdays. anyway believe need add correct registry keys depending if using windows 2003 rtm or windows 2003 >=sp1

how add registry value windows server 2003-based computer start san startup disk, pagefile disks, , cluster disks on same san fabric
