Move TempDB Database off of the SAN

I have a system configured with Windows 2000 and SQL Server 2000
Clustering (active/passive). Both SQL Servers have a local E:\ drive
with the same directory structure. I would like to move the tempdb
off of the shared SAN and on to the E:\ drive. I don't foresee any
issues with this but wanted to know if anyone else has encountered
problems with this."Douglara" <renee.douglas@.ps.net> wrote in message

In theory it should work since the tempdb is recreated at startup.

But I'd ask why? I'm assuming you're looking for a performance improvement?

And suggest asking over in the microsoft.public.sqlserver.clustering group
to be sure.
