Win 2008 quorum issues
We have all the bit's set at the FA for win 2008. Also have the SCSI-3 option enabled for the disks.
We were able to fail over and fail back fine with out problems.
We turned it over to SQL to install SQL on it and now all the disks are reserved. I tried to disable cluster services and also cluster administrator and rebooted the node and all disks showed up as offline. brought the disks online and the quorum shows up a a RAW disk.
Has anyone seen this untill now?

Did cluster validation pass when you created the cluster?
When disks are added into the Windows 2008 cluster, they should show up in a reserved state in disk manager, but you should still be able to use them for cluster applications.
When you remove a disk from the cluster, it should release the reservation and leave the disk in an offline state. In your case, it sounds like this reservation was not released from the cluster disks. When you release the reservation and reboot the node, you should no longer see a RAW partition.
We can clear this reservation pretty easily, though I'd recommend you open a case with us to allow us to take a look at the configuration before releasing this reservation. If you've got an open service request, let me know.

It appears from the Service Request that this issue was resolved by the application of an ePack to apply fix 50933 to the microcode.
