Re: Adding SCSI Adapter

Well I can add four adapters but I am confused if I can use the same id. I am
trying to create two node windows cluster with SQL Server 2005. I have gone
through couple of articles on how to go about these

-
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro...y/cvs2005.mspx
-
http://www.sql-server-performance.co...server_p1.aspx

As per these articles I cannot use the same ID for SCSI adapters as these
needs to be on Shared Bus.

From Page 8 of article (article on second link which I referenced)

"In the above screen, you want to select "Share SCSI bus for clustering,"
which I have already done above, and select the "SCSI adapter ID" as 6. Note:
Do not use the default value of 7, as this will conflict with node1. Then
click on "OK" to create the SCSI adapter. We are now done adding the virtual
SCSI adapter."

I have used one ID for each node to share the quorum disk. Now i need to two
more adapters with unique ID so that I can add shared array to store SQL
Server database.

Maybe I am not clear on what is required but if anyone of you can read and
clarify if unique ID are required?

Thanks to all who have replied and anyone who will be replying in future.
