Use the Cluster Disk Selection page of the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Installation Wizard to select the shared cluster disk resource for your [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] failover cluster. The cluster disk is where the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] data will be placed.
A shared cluster disk is not a requirement for [!INCLUDEssNoVersion][!INCLUDEssDE] cluster installations. An SMB file server is a supported storage for [!INCLUDEssNoVersion][!INCLUDEssDE] failover cluster installations, and can be specified by using the Database Engine - Data Directories page before completing the installation.
Warning
If you have selected Analysis Services to be installed, you must specify a shared cluster disk.
If you plan to enable FILESTREAM on this [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] failover cluster instance, you must specify a shared cluster disk.
Shared Disks
Select a single disk from the list. The cluster disk is where the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] data will be placed.
Only one disk can be specified. If you select the group containing the cluster quorum resource, a warning will be displayed. We recommend that you do not install to the cluster quorum resource.
Available Shared Disks
Displays a list of available disks, whether each is qualified as a shared disk, and a description of each disk resource.
