Hello,

      I have a couple Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V Host clusters with many VM's running on them. Is there a way I can introduce a Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V host server into each cluster, migrate the VM's to the Server 2012 R2 system and then be able to live migrate the VM's to another Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V host in another cluster? Thanks

Cluster DNS stuatus: The handle is invalid -- server 2012 R2

hi,

I cannot add a node, perform a live migration on cluster.

In the properties of cluster DNS status is : the handle is invalid. 

I can ping ipaddress/name of cluster, but there was no host A record created automatically. I had to create it manually.

I changed permission on host record as well, but still no luck.

Can you please help me fix this issue?

Cluster network name resource 'Cluster Name' failed registration of one or more associated DNS name(s) for the following reason: The handle is invalid.

I'm stuck here trying to figure this error out.  

2003 domain, 2012 hyper v core 3 nodes.  (I have two of these hyper V groups, hvclust2012 is the problem group, hvclust2008 is okay)

In Failover Cluster Manager I see these errors, "Cluster network name resource 'Cluster Name' failed registration of one or more associated DNS name(s) for the following reason:  The handle is invalid."

I restarted the host node that was listed in having the error then another node starts showing the errors.

I tried to follow this site:  http://blog.subvertallmedia.com/2012/12/06/repairing-a-failover-cluster-in-windows-server-2012-live-migration-fails-dns-cluster-name-errors/

Then this error shows up when doing the repair:  there was an error repairing the active directory object for 'Cluster Name'

I looked at our domain controller and noticed I don't have access to local users and groups.  I can access our other hvclust2008 (both clusters are same version 2012).

I came upon this thread:  http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/85fc2ad5-b0c0-41f0-900e-df1db8625445/windows-2012-cluster-resource-name-fails-dns-registration-evt-1196?forum=winserverClustering

Now, I'm stuck on adding a managed service account (mas).  I'm not sure if I'm way off track to fix this.  Any advice?  Thanks in advance!

Failover cluster-Online(redirected) access message

$

Hi,

I have a four node cluster with CSV enabled. Out of the three disks in CSV, one of them is showing  the status as "online(redirected access)". The other two disks are showing the correct status "Online". When checking the "critical events" section of the failover cluster i could see the following message:

--

Cluster Shared Volume 'Volume4' ('Cluster Disk 1') is no longer directly accessible from this cluster node. I/O access will be redirected to the storage device over the network through the node that owns the volume. This may result in degraded performance. If redirected access is turned on for this volume, please turn it off. If redirected access is turned off, please troubleshoot this node's connectivity to the storage device and I/O will resume to a healthy state

--

I'm using win 2008 R2. How should i know the exact cause of the  above issue?

I checked the four possible causes as per http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2010/12/16/troubleshooting-redirected-access-on-a-cluster-shared-volume-csv.aspx

Please help me.

Problem with Clustered DFS Namespace

$
0
0

We have a Microsoft cluster running on 2 Server Enterprise 2008R2 Servers with the FileServices Roles (including DFS roles).  We have 3 Standalone DFS namespaces (roots) which have been up and running for a couple of months.  Users were complaining about performance so we added the DfsDnsConfig registry entry to force the FQDN format in the namespace (KB244380). 

Although it doesn't say to do so in the KB Article, I found several threads that said you also need to delete and recreate the namespaces afterwards.  This is where I got into the problem.

I deleted one of my namespaces from the Failover Cluster Manager utility.  I then recreated the namespace.  While it works, the share was empty.  This is because by default it placed the namespace in DFSRoots and we have our namespaces in DFSroot (no trailing "s").

So I am trying to delete the new namespace in DFSRoots and create it in the DFSRoot folder, but I get the error listed in the title.  This is what I've tried so far to resolve this:

1. dfsutil to remove the namespace and it fails saying the command is not supported in a cluster environment.  Fair enough.

2. I tried to delete the share (using "Share and "), but it fails saying the shared folder is a DFS namespace root.

3. I tried to find an option to add the namespace to the resource group (using "Failover Cluster Manager") but I can't find the appropriate option.  Maybe it cant be done from the "Failover Cluster Manager" unless you are created a new one, I think.

4. Of course I tried to delete the namespace (using the "DFS Management" utility) and that's where I get the error in the Title of this post.

5. I deleted the registry entry for the namespace under hklm\software\Microsoft\dfs\roots\standalone.  I did this on both Fileserver nodes in the cluster.  However then all the utilities complained that they couldn't find the namespace and I couldn't do anything with the specific namespace.  So I put the registry key back in.

At this point I don't know what else to try to delete this namespace properly.  Any assistance is appreciated.

Best Way to Achieve Redundancy for Radio Station Server

$

I'm working on installing a new system for my company's internet radio station. Currently, we are running a Windows program to play back the audio (on the host machine) and then a second application to stream out the audio signal over the WAN. 

I am wanting to setup basic hardware and software redundancy for the station. Would two or three computers configured in a cluster provide both hardware and software redundancy, or would I need anything else?

I'm trying to learn the best way to do this, so sorry if this is in the wrong place.

Thanks!

Choosing the correct clustering method

Hi, I currently have a small 3 server environment (win 2012), 1 PDC, and 2 Servers running hyper-v. I have 8 or so hyper v machines on one of the servers and using hyper-v replica to replicate all of them to the other server. I woud like to upgrade this to something that will provide hot migration/failover for the VM's. I was considering having a storage cluster with 2 machines for storage and a VM cluster with 2 machines for migration. My confusion is what to cluster? Do I cluster the physical machines, the VM's or both? Note SQL server is running on one of the VM's.

Trying to setup a redundant server for server 2012

$

have some questions  regarding creating a backup for an all in one server. The server has active directory, DNS, the file server and everything on it. I'm trying to create a redundancy setup in case of failure. So I was reading about failover clusters and this seem to be what I need to do. I'm just a little bit confused. What is the difference between using hyper V and using clusters?

When I create a cluster and add servers to it, what exactly happens? For instance simplest case I have the main server with all the data. Now I bring in another machine with nothing on it. I install windows server 2012 on it and add it and the other computer to a cluster. Does the data from the main server automatically get copied onto all the servers that are part of this cluster? At this point if one server fails will the other one take over?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Any ideas on why a Fileserver keeps going offline on only 1 node. Even tried swapping the server and its still failing. This is a windows 2008r2 cluster

Cluster file server resource 'FileServer-(NAME)(Database Disk)' failed a health check. This was because some of its shared folders were inaccessible. Verify that the folders are accessible from clients. Additionally, confirm the state of the Server service on this cluster node using Server Manager and look for other events related to the Server

Cannot create a SMB Application File Share in 2012R2

  1. I am trying to create a SOFS on Windows Server 2012R2 but cannot create the application file share via Failover Cluster Manager. 
  2. I have a created a Clustered Shared Volume using JBOD and storage spaces.  The volume is formatted on the JBOD disks using REFS (I understood this is supported for CSV in  2012R2).  The environment is being built using Data On Storage 9220 CiB which is certified for Storage Spaces.
  3. I open Fail Over Cluster Manager (tried both remotely and locally on file server). 
  4. Connect to the Cluster. 
  5. Expand the Cluster
  6. Choose Roles
  7. Right Click on "SecSofs01Cap" which is of type "Scale-Out File Server" and choose "Add File Share"
  8. Choose SMB Share - Applications
  9. Choose Next
  10. Select "SecSofs01Cap" which is of type "Scale Out File Server"
  11. Select by Volume is grayed out and I see no volumes presented. The browse button in "Type a custom path" is grayed out as well.  

Creating a cluster question

$
0
0

I am trying to create a High Availability Cluster on Serve 2012r2 that will run Remote Desktop Services i.e. RemoteApps.  The idea being that if one server goes down the second one will take over.  I have created a cluster with 2 nodes, the two nodes in the cluster are virtual servers on two separate physical servers running Server 2012r2 with Hyper-V. From what I can tell the cluster is setup properly (server manager>local server recognizes them as being apart of the cluster), but I'm unclear whether these two nodes are the High Availability cluster I require, or if I should have made the physical servers that host Hyper-v the nodes in the cluster.  I would think that once these 2 nodes are in a cluster if I make a change to one node i.e. install a feature that the other node would be automatically updated to match, and should one node shutdown the other node takes over.  Doesn't seem to be the case for me, which makes me think I shouldn't have used the two virtual servers as nodes. 

Should I have created the cluster between the two physical servers instead?  Then created a virtual machine from that cluster?

My only other experience with clustering is with Synology, so I'm basing a lot of my assumption on how Synology clusters their devices.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cluster Disk stuck in "Online Pending"

$

I am currently seeing this under my Storage in the Failover Cluster Manager on Server 2012 r2....
"Cluster Disk 2" is stuck in an "Online Pending" state. The thing is I don't have any disk that would be claiming this role.

When I try and look at the properties of this disk I get a message: "operation has failed..... unable to cast object of type 'MS.Internal.ServerClusters.Cluster' to type 'MS.Internal.ServerClusters.ClusterResource'. " or sometime the MMC crashes with an unhandled exception. If I try and remove it in the Failover Cluster MMC, it fails with "The file cannot be opened because it is in the process of being deleted. Error Code: 0x8007012f"

If I try and remove it with cmdlets in PowerShell, ' Remove-ClusterResource "Cluster Disk 2", no result because the resource doesn't exist. 'Get-ClusterResource' shows no resource related to the ghost disk.

Any thoughts on what may be causing this ghost disk to be showing up as available storage, or any resolutions to removing it.
