I have a 2 node 2008SP2 (Geographically separated) cluster. I use file and node majority for quorum. There is a file share at third site and both nodes can ping/open the share and the nodes have full controll of the share. Also, there are other cluster/nodes using the same share for quorum. This has worked for several years. After the last round of MS patches the file share witness resource would not come back online for 1 cluster. I tried forcing it online several times but I cancelled after 10 minutes or so. I found that I can add another folder in the original location and reran the qurom wizard, and it came online. I am guessing that maybe the multiple clusters using the same single folder is not good, not sure why it worked for so long though. Anyway, the delete function is gone from the failed file share witness, how can I get rid of the old failed resource?
Thanks
