Set up the Quorum disk
All clusters must have a shared disk called the Quorum disk. The Quorum disk is the shared storage
used by the cluster nodes (Server 1 and Server 2) to coordinate the internal cluster state. This physical
disk is required for all cluster operations.
Use the HP StorageWorks MSA Storage Management Utility to set up and configure the Quorum
disk, a single virtual disk that will be available to both storage servers.
WARNING!
Do not use the Quorum disk to store additional data.
IMPORTANT:
Creating virtual disks can be a lengthy process. Each terabyte of disk space requires approximately
two hours of initialization time.
1. In the HP StorageWorks MSA Storage Management Utility, click Manage, then click Create a
VDisk.
2. Under Virtual Disk Creation Method, select the Manual Virtual Disk Creation radio button.
3. In the Enter Virtual Disk Name field, type a name for the virtual disk.
