    You only need to run VCSW on one node as this wizard will ask you to enter all nodes in the cluster and configure a base cluster.  

    You need to create your diskgroup and volume after installing SFWHA (from one node) and when you install SQL you need to select this volume (drive letter or folder mount) for the location of the data files (and you should use a domain user service account).

    Also after all this, you should run the VCS SQL config Wizard to create a service group.

This means, VCS will do the assigning and mounting of disk drives and no manual reassigning disk letter and folder mount after a failover is this correct? Bec on MS CS is this true. Thanks Mike!
