SQL Disk Dependency problem on SQL 2008 cluster including errors

Hi All,

I have a SQL 2008 cluster running with 2 nodes, and what I have recently noticed is that a snapshot creation code has been failing. I checked the cluster dependency property on the SQL instance

and I noticed that the dependency wasn’t set on the backup drive, I took SQL offline, set the dependency and then brought it back online and yet the create snapshot code doesn’t work.

Please note that the drive is a mount point.

Any ideas please

CREATE DATABASE [DBNAME] ON
	(NAME = [DBNAME], FILENAME = 'X:\BackupMount\Snapshot\DBNAME_Snapshot.ss')
AS SNAPSHOT OF [DBNAME];
Msg 5184, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot use file 'X:\BackupMount\Snapshot\DBNAME_Snapshot.ss' for clustered server. Only
on formatted files on which the cluster resource of the server has a dependency can be used. Either the disk resource containing the file is not present in the cluster group or the cluster resource of the Sql Server does not have a dependency on it.
