Arie,

 

Are you trying to do this on the active node?? I wouldn't suggest doing a

FS operation that would affect the availability of the boot partition on the

active node of a SQL cluster. In a cluster situation, the c: drive should

rally only be used for boot and the swap -- Neither of which are going to

really benefit from a defrag, at least not enough to bother. If you are

using C: for somehting other than that, than you shoudl look at your cluster

design before going any further.

Good! If that is the case, then you really aren't going to see terribly much

benefit from the defrag. so, if it breaks stuff when you do it, stop doing

it.

 

.... or at least only do the passive node.
