Windows NLB - Cluster IP:PORT is not accessible from converged node

$
0
0

Hi All,

I would like to ask you whether any one know or can confirm that the following behaviour is right according to the NLB architecture:

I have deployed Windows NLB Cluster with two nodes. The Windows NLB is configured as a multicast cluster and the cluster IP:PORT is fully accessible from same VLAN and also from other VLANs, however problem is that from the node which is currently converged, ie. the cluster ip:port is not active on the server/node, the cluster ip:port is not accessible at all - when I try to run telnet on cluster IP:PORT, connection is immediately refused.

Is this known limitation/function of NLB cluster or something is wrong?

Really appreciate your answers or help

Regards,

Can't create a Client Access Point in Failover Cluster Server 2016

$

Hi all,

I created a cluster and added the file server role as the clustered role.  All the cluster related objects landed in the "Computers" OU (default location for new AD computer objects).  I didn't want them to stay here so created a new OU in which I placed all my cluster objects.  

I then visited the cluster to create my first Client Access Point, however it fails with error 800703eb.  I know this is related to the permissions on the OU, however, I am unsure as to what they should be.  (Finding it difficult to locate information on this.)

Can anyone help?

Many thanks.

Event 1070 FailoverClustering error code 1629

$

Hello,

I built a cluster and trying to add a second node.  Both servers are on two different subnets, they reached each other properly.

When I try to add the second server as a node, it times out, and in Windows logs, there is an event 1070 which shows "The node failed to join failover cluster 'DAG-Tech' due to error code '1629'."

There is another event 7024, with this description "

The Cluster Service service terminated with the following service-specific error: 
Data supplied is of wrong type."

The "Data of wrong type" corresponds to the meaning of the error code 1629.

How to resolve?  What data is wrong?


Thanks, Dominic

Lab Environment: The cluster does not start even if one of the node is up

$

I have a lab environment with the following setup:

Host: WS 2016 with hyper V installed.

2 VM's (WS2016) clustered running Fileshare with no witness (It is a lab environment just for testing purposes).

ISCSI disk has been created on a third VM which is being used as Fileshare.

CASE:1

Cluster running with both the nodes up. Current owner of the Role: say SERVER1.

I shutdown the server and the new owner of the role is SERVER2. CLUSTER IS STILL UP AND RUNNING.

CASE:2

With the current role owner being SERVER2 and SERVER1 being currently shut down. If I shutdown SERVER2 now, the cluster is going to stop (very obvious). 

Upon starting SERVER1 again, the cluster is not up. SERVER1 shows the ISCSI disk to be offline. Tried manually starting the cluster but still it does not start (I could not check the votes as I could not access the cluster node option in Failover cluster manager, as the cluster is Stopped). Cluster events does not show any data.

CASE:3

Upon starting SERVER2, the cluster starts automatically and the Owner Node is SERVER2.

Questions:

1) Why the cluster does not start in case:2 ? Is it because of the voting ? How do I troubleshoot ?

2) Is this a normal behaviour ? How do I override it ?

3) What are your advise for the best practices when working with WSFC ?

Stretch Cluster / Storage Replica / Log volume VSS Snapshots due to built-in Cluster Config Backup ?

$
0
0

Hi fellow Engineers.

I am currently investigating an annoying issue on a virtual (!) WFC (v2016) that is being used as a 4-node HA FileServer (2node HA in each datacenter). Storage (2x 5TB) is being replicated succesfully (synchronous/write-ordered) between the 2 datacenters. 

The annoying issue, is that every 4 hours (randomized within a few minutes) all connected users experience a short freeze of a few seconds up to a minute when accessing the Fileserver. Looking at the logs and StorageReplica known issues, it is clear this is due something trying to create a VSS Snapshot of the Replica LOG volume (which you should not do !!!), and the culprit seems to be an internal mechanism trying to create a Cluster Config Backup - including VSS snapshot of all local volumes of the Role owner. 

If I switch the Role to another node, the issue just follows so it is not tied to the Cluster owner, but the role owner !

There is no backup being scheduled at that time, and I have no idea what would create an automatic VSS of all connected volumes.

Before going into details ... I have troubleshooted the hell out of this thing and cannot find it ... I do have some ideas, but the timestamps do not match.

Environment:

Lenovo blades (x240) with VMWare 6.5u1 (was also present on 6.5)

Dell Compellent Storage

3x 1Gbit uplinks (VMXNET3) per Node 

Veeam Backup & Replication (9.5u2) using the latest Veeam Agent so we are not using the VMWare API for backup. When the Veeam Agent Backup schedule runs, the issue is not present as only the datavolumes are being backed-up (using VSS).

Anyone else having the same issue or seen this issue ?

Windows Server Failover Cluster Fails

$

Dears,

We have a Windows Server 2012 Cluster built of two nodes (node 01, node 02).

The cluster is being used for SAP with Sybase Database engine.

We are experiencing an issue that happens from time to time.

Whenever Node 01 hangs, all the system hangs, and Node 02 never restore the service and be active.

In normal situations if Node 01 is totally down, Node 02 takes  responsibility, but if it hangs it keeps all the storage partitions reserved for it and never release them until I force restart it.

What do I do?

Regards,

Khalid. 

basic to CSV import -data loss

We are sort of in a transition. Trying to build a separate windows server 2016 infrastructure.

Our SAN vendor does not yet support CSV volumes. They expect to have update in a few weeks tat resolves this. I have the connection to San from cluster node as basic disks. I would like to get started on VM creation. If I would start building the VMs on the basic disks could I later add these disks into cluster shared volumes without losing data?

Thanks for your time and consideration.

I use a domain user which has local administrators right in the computer, however when connect to the failover cluster got the above error.

after giving the domain user "Domain Admin", the user can connect to cluster successfully.

If I don't want to give Domain Admin to the user, what else permission is should grant to this user so that it can access the cluster ?

it is using windows 2016
