Hello,
Orginally, old 3rd party integrators had configured a Windows 2008 Failover Cluster, containing 1 SAN (HP MSA2000) connected with SAS to 2x HP Proliant Servers.
After this, the first Proliant Server crashed (I guess motherboard failure).
So now the cluster is running on just 1 Server, with the other node "offline". Please see the screenshot.

Sorry for some reason I am not able to post pictures or links.
Now we have a problem, namely Drive F: is a RAID1 volume on the SAN, and this RAID is unhealty.
One of the 2 Disks of the F: volume has crashed in the SAN and we are in no possibility of fixing this issue fast.

The Quorum drive is dedicated drive F:.
I want to change this to Drive G: (filesharing drive), because that drive is in RAID5 and has no crashed disks.
But this disk also has data on it, is this a problem?
It is possible to do this online without any risk?
The 3rd pary integrator is gone and I have no experience in this.
If it is not possible, my question would be: what is the RAID1 on the quorum disk F: would get lost.
It is possible to boot the server and change the Quorum disk even when the old Quorum disk crashed?
Thanks a lot,
Best Regards,
Joris
