How to delay SQL Server startup When we boot SQL Server, SAN drives might not be availiable yet. Is there a way to delay SQL Server start by 1 minute? Right now we have to restart SQL Server after we boot the server.
We talked about a similar issue before here and here and what worked in that case was setting the SQL Server to be dependent on the disk drivers.  You'll want to test this to make sure this works in your setup but it should do the trick.
