Q:
Do I need 2 physical SCSI disks in the shared drive space? I only have one
and expected to be able to put both the Quorum and shared data drive on the
same Physical Drive as 2 Logical drives. Is this not possible? Do I need
to purchase a second drive? Would using 2 433 mhz servers with 128 mg of
ram each cause my cluster to fail?
A:
Yes, you do need two physical drives to separate the Quorum and Data drives. The only time you don't need this is where you have an external RAID subsystem which can emulate having two physical disks.
The Server config is fine. I have built clusters with Pentium 166's with no problem.

Followup:
OOPS, I guess I read the MS docs too well on this one. Thanks for following up, Bill, and letting me know that you, in fact, do not need 2 physical drives :) I have always built clusters using at least two drives and never tried to run with one.
