Dell 4200 manual Running chkdsk /f on a Quorum Disk, Tape Backup for Clustered Systems

Running 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.
