To create SQL Server databases on the clustered storage, if CSVs are not in use, it is important to update the dependencies of the SQL Server role on those disk resources. This ensures that when the failover happens, the failover cluster will also bring those resources online on the surviving node for proper startup of the SQL Server role on that node. To update the dependencies, follow these steps:

Once the dependencies are updated, the SQL Server role will show them. Upon failover, all these resources will be brought online so that the SQL Server role can come online.
