Hello
I have two Dell 2950 servers running Server 2008 R2 enterprise core, attached to a Dell MD3000. On each server I have three virtual servers running server 2008 R2 enterprise. The plan is to create three active passive clusters.
Ive passed the disk through in Hyper-V manager and the servers can see the disks and format and write to them. Both sides can see the disks and write to them with the other side offline.
The disks Im trying to use are GMSQL4-MSDTC and GMSQL4-Data they are Offline on the core servers.
Attached file with images and full description : -
-One hyper-V server disk setup
-MD3000 Setup
-Document listing the errors received
But when I run the Cluster Validate it fails on Storage part
Physical disks with the ID of 79989b4a/b is the problem
It lists the following but cant see any on them as the problem?
List Potential Cluster Disks
List disks visible to all nodes that will be validated for cluster compatibility. Online clustered disks will be excluded.
No disks were found on which to perform cluster validation tests. To correct this, review the following possible causes:
* The disks are already clustered and currently Online in the cluster. When testing a working cluster, ensure that the disks that you want to test are Offline in the cluster.
* The disks are unsuitable for clustering. Boot volumes, system volumes, disks used for paging or dump files, and disks that do not use NTFS are examples of disks unsuitable for clustering.
* The disks are not visible to all nodes (even though they are in shared storage). Review the "List All Disks" test to see which disks are visible to all nodes. Ensure that the disks you want to test are unmasked, that is, your masking or zoning does not prevent access to the disks. If the disks seem to be unmasked or zoned correctly but could not be tested, try restarting the servers before running the validation tests again.
* The cluster does not use shared storage. A cluster must use a hardware solution based either on shared storage or on replication between nodes. If your solution is based on replication between nodes, you do not need to rerun Storage tests. Instead, work with the provider of your replication solution to ensure that replicated copies of the cluster configuration database can be maintained across the nodes.
