Important
Before creating the ServeRAID logical cluster resource, you must assign a permanent
(sticky) drive letter to the shared logical drive on both servers.
When configuring a cluster, you must assign a permanent drive letter because the two
servers must have the same drive letters on each shared logical drive. If you do not assign
permanent drive letters, Windows 2000 might assign different drive letters on each server.
You must assign a permanent drive letter to ensure Windows 2000 assigns the same drive
letter to the partition on both servers.
