Although it sounds like an issue with the split brain detect mechanism.

I did not know GSX has gone legacy. Do you have a suggestion on what new free server OS I could use?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a IBM workstation with 2 CPUs and 3GB of ram running GSX server. I have 6 guest OS's running. Actually on 4 are on 24 x 7. Let's call them guest01 - 04. guest01 and 02 are a cluster. If 01 and 02 get powered off at the same time, when they come back up the shared disks will show unreadable \ unkown. I go to disk manager and re-scan drives, after that the disks show unkown.<br />
<br />
If I present the same shared disk to another guest...like 03, the disk gets initialized and guest03 can see all the data. <br />
<br />
If I take the disk away from 01 and 02 then represent it, I have a different signature and MSCS freaks out. <br />
<br />
chkdsk won't work, I get: &quot;cannot open volume for direct access&quot;<br />
<br />
Any ideas how to fix this or prevent it from happening in the future?

(500pts) GSX server powers down and comes up with SCSI disk unreadable

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
