Running Applications on a Cluster 4-5

chkdsk /f
on a Quorum
Disk
The chkdsk command with the /f (“fix”) option cannot
be run on a device on which an open file handle is active.
The Cluster Service maintains an open handle on the
quorum resource; therefore, chkdsk /f cannot be run on
the hard-disk drive that contains the quorum resource. To
run chkdsk /f on a quorum resource’s hard-disk drive,
move the quorum resource temporarily to another drive
and then run chkdsk /f on the drive that previously stored
the quorum resource. To move the quorum resource,
right-click the cluster name, select Properties, and then
select the Quorum tab. Select another disk as the quorum
disk and press Enter. Upon completion, move the quorum
disk back to the original drive.
