SYMPTOMS
Some physical drives are missing in the list of available quorum drives in Cluster Administrator.



CAUSE
This behavior is by design. Only cluster capable drives will show up in this list.



RESOLUTION
The physical drive has to be quorum capable before the drive will be in the list. If a physical drive has any dependencies, it will not be quorum capable. Find the physical drive that you want to list as a quorum device, and then remove any dependencies that are associated with this physical drive. If the physical drive is still not listed, contact the manufacturer of your cluster hardware solutions.
