I am installing SQL Serveer 2012 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Cluster.
I start the installation, and choose "New SQL Server Failover Cluster installation" Everything is going along fine until i get to the "Database Engine Configuration" Page. On the "Data Directories" tab, it automatically filled in the paths for the database file locations with:
\\?\Volume{... Volume GUID}\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Data
But these have an error that says: "The path \\?\Volume{...guid...}\MSSQL..... is malformed or not absolute.
In my Windows Server Cluster, I have two devices in my storage folder. One is the Quorum drive, and the other is a shared Volume. The shared volume does not have a drive letter, and when I look at the Properties in the Cluster Manager, the volume is listed as "C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1". (Note: It had a drive letter untill i configured it as a Cluster Shared volume.
My question is, what is the correct value to enter for the data file paths?
Thanks
Matt
