We have a one node cluster sql server instance where the machine was patched/updated and re-booted this past weekend. The machine came up, but the SQL Server did not because it could not locate RestoreCheckpointDB24.ckp on anM drive. If I RESTOREFILELISTONLY on my backups everything was clearly on an N drive previously. To get by the error, our network team changed a registry key pointing toN drive to M drive and everything magically came up. The file system and failover cluster manager are now showing all files to be on anM drive, but if you query master.sys.master_files everything is showing on theN drive. Anyone know how this is possible and how to resolve???
As well, a log shipping session is now broken because it's copying to a missingN drive and my Management->SQL Server Logs folder is empty as well.
Any ideas? I'm completely baffled as well as our network guys.
Thanks!
