Hello,

Some help regarding the error that I indicate below:

Failed to find or allocate arbitration sectors for physical disk {844114cc-0488-4764-9a57-e12185567414} from node. These sectors are used to test reads and writes to the disk. On a GPT disk, these sectors are located within the Cluster Metadata Partition, and this partition may need to be created from the Microsoft Reserved Partition so that the storage will validate. Please ensure that all GPT disks have a Microsoft Reserved Partition (MSR) present. Error: 0x80070022.

I have a shared SQL instance between two VMs, in a failover clustering, but when executing the Test Validation it indicates this error.

    Hi,

    Did you tried to follow the error information?

    Please ensure that all GPT disks have a Microsoft Reserved Partition (MSR) present

    In short, This is less related to SQL Server and more related to Windows and Disk format. You are probably using GUID Partition Table (GPT) and need to make sure that you have master boot record (MBR).

    You can search this error in Google and you will find multiple threads not related to SQL Server specifically.
