Cluster dynamic disk group in VirtualBox
Has anyone being able to getcluster dynamic disk groups working in VirtualBox. I have SFWHA 5.1 installed on W2003 and I can create a normaldynamic disk group, but I cannot create acluster dynamic disk group on a fixed size shared disk - I get error message: V-76-58645-585: Failed to reserve a majority of disks in cluster dynamic disk group I think the issue is that I don't thinkVirtualBox supports SCSI II as when I use "scsicmd -d1 -sscsi_reserved_status" it reports: Failed SCSI-3 PR READ on Harddisk1, scsiStatus: 0x0, system error: 0x0 Harddisk1 is writable but it is not supporting SCSI-3 read. SCSICMD can't determine whether Harddisk1 is being SCSI-2 reserved or not. Wally says athttps://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/v-76-58645-585-failed-reserve-majority-disks-cluster-dynamic-disk-group-1 The second etrack is 2252699. This one is a private patch that is only available through opening a support case. This etrack adds support for internal disks to the Windows 2008 OS and it also includes the Windows 2003 drivers needed as well (I'm not sure if the Windows 2003 drivers are actually updated in this release or not.) You will need to open a support case to get the private patch in etrack 2252699 to disable SCSI 2 reservations when using internal disks in an VCS cluster. Has anyone got this patch and does it work on Windows 2003 - I only need it for lab set-up for virtual box on my laptop, so I'm not looking for any official support for this. MikeSolved
SF Basic missing features?
Hi! Just trying out SF Basic on a freshly-built Windows 2008 R2 Standard server. The GUI installer won't allow me to check any of the features except the one to replace the Windows storage MMC. According to the SF 6.0 compatability guide, the array I'm using, an IBM DS3524, is supported, and Windows 2008 R2 is definately supported. The docs on the Basic version would seem to imply that DMP is included, too. I'm logged in with administrator rights (and have tried it logging in directly as the Administrator, too...). The MPIO feature is installed in the Windows Server Manager. Any idea why I can't install DMP, or any of the other features? The web page http://www.symantec.com/business/storage-foundation-basic clearly indicates that Dynamic Multipathing is part of the package... If DMP isn't part of SF Basic anymore, what's the advantage to use of SF? Are there any performance benefits anymore over the standard vendor DSM and Windows LDM? Thanks! -BenSolved1.5KViews2likes7CommentsWhere to download SP1?
