Add internal drive to one of two nodes within MS 2000 Cluster?

If I offline one of two nodes in a cluster, can I add an internal
drive to the offlined-node, then bring the node back online into the
cluster?
Will this new drive cause any problems?
Thanks.
As the new drive is going to be in different bus(system bus), shouldn't
create any problem. I guess the internal drive to be added is SCSI.
BTW, the ideal sequence will be offline the node, shut down the node, add
the disk and bring the node up online.

add disk to a cluster running sql2005

hi,
I have a windows 2003 sp1 cluster running sql2005.
the DB is installed on S: and i have a R: & U: drive letter that is both
differend disk and runs fine in the cluster.
But i can not see those disks in sql 2005 why ?
the disks are in the same resource group (SQL)
where can I choose the R drive ?
if I choose attach DB I see only the S drive where the DB is installed.
any help is welcome
greetings,
Robert
Hi,
Just fixed it
I added the disk resources to the SQL2005 server resource and now it is
running.
greetings,

added as a dependency of the SQL Server resource.
