I have Windows 2012 R2 failover cluster with shared disk.
I have configured file server role along with 2 file shares on this cluster.
both file shares are hosted on shared disk, but after some time showing both file shares in cluster manager and allowing me to change properties etc its now suddenly doesn't show the file shares in cluster manager.
it gives error message that "no file shares are available because the file server role is offline"
but that is not true, file server role shows as online and i can access the file shares remotely using CAP hostname fine, it just doesn't show up in shares section of cluster manager.
I have tried failing over to other node, restarting cluster services on both nodes but no luck.
