Managed Disks in Windows 2003 -- sql server clustering

sql server clustering : Managed Disks in Windows 2003

While setting up windows cluster in 2003, my external array which is
logically partiotioned into P and Q appear as one disk group.
If i wanted to setup an active/active SQL cluster, how can i seperate into 2
groups, so that one node owns P and SQL instance 1 has data files on P and
the other node owns Q with another SQL instance owning Q. I didnt see a
managed disk dialog during the 2003 windows cluster instance.

MSCS looks at the physical layer, not the partition level. So you can have 4
partitions on a single disk, but MSCS will display this as one physical disk
resource. The only way to achieve an active/active configuration would be to
add another physical disk...can't be done with your current config.

Regards,
John.
