Cannot move WITNESS disk resource

-

i have 2-node failover cluster set on windows server 2008. i'm using node & disk majority option quorum setting. it's running sql server 2005 , has several san luns storage.

the sql server service, sql server agent service , storage set under general cluster service (named sql server 2005 cluster). when failover sql server 2005 cluster other node, works fine. except witness resource. shown still being on first node.

should witness disk failover second node? should dependency somewhere? problem i'm running if restart first node witness disk still on it, quorum fails , cluster fails.

the problem may don't understand clustering concept or setup well. on appreciated.

correct...the problem don't understand clustering ;-)

the witness disk located within own resource group, though can't see in 2008 cluster gui. witness disk not supposed failover when move application/workload, though move other node in event of cluster service failure on node owns witness disk.

if want see this, test, move sql application node owning witness disk , stop cluster service on node. on other cluster node, should take on sql application group, , take on witness disk. 

another way see to use cluster.exe commands command line. if issue 'cluster group' command, see shows 2 groups don't see in cluster gui; cluster group and available storage. cluster group contain witness disk, cluster ip address and a cluster network name resource. test moving group using cluster.exe commands.
