Hi,
I am facing a problem while converting my existing EV server to the cluster. Following is the brief description about my setup
VCS 5.1 with 2 nodes cluster is configured with basic disks. There is no storage foundation installed.
Service group is configured successfully which is tested by failover & failback.
When I run convert to cluster wizard in EV, it is failed with an error.....
Failed to read the list of cluster drives for virtual server "server name"
Reason: No mount resources found
Please let me know if someone has solution for this issue.

Why did you create a second post about the same issue ?

Did you see this technote:

The technote which you have given is considering SF also.
In my scenario, there is no SF implemented

SF?
If you would like to get some help you should be more specific and provide some more details.

SF....Storage Foundation is not implented and only VCS is installed.
Instade of storage foundation, for volume management, Microsoft disk management is using.
Please find the snapshot below of an error.

I'm not entirely sure as I have only been involved in environments where SF is also installed. Something tells me that you would need to configure VCS using a Disk Group to control the dynamic volumes mounted on the shared drives.
From your details it looks like you managed to create a service group and failover to the other node correctly, but have you added the required disk resources to this service group?

perhaps another screen shot showing how you configured the disk resources in the service group would help understanding your environment.

Any luck?

Yes...
The service group is configured properly. I am able to failover / failback service group
Since there is no storage foundation installed and have only VCS in picture disk management is with windows disk management. So I have configured all disks as basic disks. If it was dynamic disks, it was not allowing me to add those disks as mount-v resource.
The related information is given in the VCS_BundledAgents_51SP2 guide
Page No. 37
Note: Use this agent to manage volumes on disk groups configured using Veritas Storage Foundation for Windows. Do not use this agent if you use other software to manage shared storage
Confsidering this I have added all basic disks in the service group successfully.
