Hi All,

I have moved SQL Server errorlog file location to SAN drive (Let's say E drive). There are no database files on E drive.
If SAN goes down, E$ is not available, will SQL Server go down?

Thanks in advance.

error log wld be along with all the binaries in the default location.. did u change the the entire binaries location?

i guess the server being up depends solely on the datafiles n also the services which are required for server to run ,asumming all the other aspects being normal.

Due to space crunch,I only changed errorlog location...binaries are on original location.
If SQL wont go down, what will be SQL's reaction if error log location is not reachable?

my understanding is that as the server cant locate the error log, errors like cannot locate specified path or unable to open the specified file kind of errors will be thrown to system log under application and system.

though i have never came across this kind of situation, this is wat i understanding...
