We are running a 4 node File cluster running windows 2012 OS.
And run 6 prod server roles of 6 file servers
Question:
Say for Role FS6, i have 6 storage volumes. And one volume goes offline.
With the logical operator AND used and defined for all the cluster storage volumes of the file server FS6, the File server would go offline and the role FS6 would go in stopped state as shown in figure below:
Questions:
1) If one volume went off and it stopped the role as fig. above. What is expected of the remaining 5 volumes?
Will they be accessible with the role in stopped state but the volumes show online.
2) A failover will be attempted as per policies on the role and the resources.
With the polices for the role and resources set as per the following screenshots:
What is expected?
- Will a failover be attempted immediately or will it wait to start the resources on the same node for 15 minutes?
- Will the resources move from current owner node a new node irrespective if the volume comes online or not?
- Will it attempt to failover and start the resources, and if it fails it will stop trying after 3 attempts?
- Will there be any disruption is accessing the available volumes during the failover?
Shall appreciate precise answers with above mentioned scenario.
Thanks,
Shailesh
