V-76-58645-585: Failed to reserve a majority of disks in cluster dynamic disk group
Hi Everyone,
Am getting the following error when trying to import a disk group as a cluster disk group:
V-76-58645-585: Failed to reserve a majority of disks in cluster dynamic disk group
Disk is able to import as a dynamic disk group but not as a cluster disk group. Platform is Windows Server 2003 SP2 32bit. SFWHA version is 5.1 SP2. Have following the steps on this technote (http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH88082) but issue still persists.
The hardware is a small PC that has three seperate SATA hard disks (no RAID controller). OS resides on one disk while the rest of the two disks are in a single DG. To trouble shoot, also removed one disk from DG but the clustered import fails. Cluster has a single node only. Have enabled UseSystemBus attirbute as well. Tried force import option too. Is there a hardware limitation in place here?
Does any one have any suggestions (to isolate the issue)? Thanks.
WBR,
SW
Hi SW,
Sorry, I overlooked the comment you posted about these being IDE disks. I don't think we can work with IDE disks at all, even with the patch to bypass the SCSI reservations. However, it is has been a long time since I've seen IDE disks in a server, you might want to contact us again and request that you try the patch. It might work with IDE disks but I don't know off hand.
Thanks,
Wally
