Shrink LUN on production
Hi there, There is interesting task. I have SFHA cluster with SQL server. SQL data files stored on IBM v7000 Storewize. I must shrink LUN. No problem when I shrinke volume in VEA, problem is when I want shrink LUN on Storage. When I did it on my test enviroment the VOLUME was destroed. I do not have free space for new LUN. Do Anybody how how it do correct? Thanks in advance.Solved1.9KViews0likes5CommentsStorage Foundation
Hi im new to the product and the field, so really any advice would be great. where exactly do you install VOM in your SAN environment and does the SF s/w collide with the storage vendor management s/w. And how do you control a heterogenous storage with SF Also can someone explain the licensing.SolvedWindows 2012 R2 Failover cluster and SF Volume Manager Disk Group
Hi, I just found this article and its quite the problem I'm facing right now: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/one-cooperation-issue-about-windows-2012-r2-failover-cluster-and-sf-cluster-shared-disk-group I created a new Windows Server 2012 R2 Failover Cluster with several mirrored Disks in DynamicDiskGroups in StorageFoundation. As a next step, I wanted to add the Diskgroups from SF as a Ressource to my Failover Roles. Actual scenario: Cluster Role Name: C0002Z DiskGroupName in SF: DG_C0002Z_1 Then I added a Ressource to the Cluster Role via Add Resource -> More Resources -> Volume Manager Disk Group I changed the Name of the VMDG in "General" to "DG_C0002Z_1", apply, ok. Then I wanted to add the Name of the DiskGroup in Properties -> Properties -> DiskGroupName of the VMDG to "DG_C0002Z_1". And thats where I dont get any further. It doesn't matter which Name I want to enter into DiskGroupName, theres always this Error: There was an error saving properties for 'DG_C0002Z_1'. Failed to execute control code '20971654'. Error Code: 0x800700a0 One or more arguments are not correct I also tried to enter Names without special characters but that doesnt help eather. Do you have any Idea how to fix or bypass this issue?

Hi all, I need help to good understand attribute ForceImport. There is a table "Failure situations" in Symantec Storage Foundatio and High Availability Solutions Solutions Guide. (221p.) I don't understant situation number 7 Split-brain situation andstorage interconnect lost. ForceImport set to 0 - No interruption of service.Can’t import with only 50% of disks available. Disks on the same node are functioning. Mirroring is not working. ForceImport set to 1 - Automatically imports disks on secondary site. Now disks are online in both locations—data can be kept from only one. Who can unswer this question: "Now disks are online in both locations—data can be kept from only one" What is the purpes?

Hi, We are experiencing this error on one of our clusters. It'sa two-node campus cluster with the following specifications SiteA Node1 is a Windows Server 2008 R2virtual machine residing on a ESXi 5.1 host in this site Disk1 and 3areLUNs in an enclosure in this site SiteB Node2 is a Windows Server 2008 R2 virtual machine residing on a ESXi 5.1 host in this site Disk2and 4areLUNs in an enclosure in this site We havecreated twoVMDGs, one contains Disk 1 and 2, while the other contains Disk 3 and 4.On these VMDGs, wehave created mirrored dynamic volumes.TheVMDGs arethen presented to the failover cluster. The quorum type on the failover cluster is a file share witness, onanother server. We are also running Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager to install updates and patches on Node 1 and 2. Whenever patches are installed on a node, it gets restarted. Whenever that occurs, failover from Node 1 to Node 2 occurs for the cluster resource group. Everything seems to failover just fine, and the VMDG is imported successfully (according to the log). But 10 minutes after the VMDG has been imported, the following error is logged on Node 2 http://s28.postimg.org/ubh8skfh9/vmdg2.png If I check the status of the VMDGs in VEA its Deported for both VMDGs. http://s3.postimg.org/72ort9683/vmdg3.png But even if the disks and VMDGs seem to be offline on the active node, failover does not occur, as in Failover Cluster Manager, the VMDG is online, but there are no volumes enumerated on it. http://s12.postimg.org/p31vncct9/vmdg1.png Has anyone else experienced the same, and knows why the status of the disks change to deported, without failover occuring?Solved2.6KViews2likes6CommentsMS Cluster Storage migration problem
Hi guys, Could you please help me with storages migration problem. We have some WinServ 2003 clusters in our company and now we have a task to migrate our old SANs to the new ones. The best way we imagined as solution is to create 2 dynamic DG in Veritas SF: one for old SAN disks and another for new SAN disks, then join these groups into one DG, then make a mirroring between old and new disks and in final do the split of this common DG to 2 independent DG (one with old and one with new disks). You know that MS cluster can use only basic disks as storage resources. Therefore we can't add these disks into the DG in storage foundation. So, is there any solution here or not?Solved2.9KViews0likes6CommentsHow to use local disk on all nodes to configue VCS+VVR+GCO configuration

We have a Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise cluster and disk management is done thru Veritas Enterprise Administrator (VSF Versio: 5.1 SP2 Build 5.1.20000.87). We want to extend Mirrored Concatenated volume and already added two disks from different enclosures, imported to the disk group. As for now disks in one mirror are all from one storage (enclosure) and disks in the other mirror are all from another storage (enclosure). The goal is: to add new disks to the mirrors in the way that disk from enclosure A goes to mirror A and disk from enclosure B goes to mirror B. Will the checkbox Mirror across Enclosure put the disks to the right mirrors? UPD: After adding disks from different storage, adding to test group, mirroring accross enclosures did work. Worked on a non-test disk group as well.Solved1.9KViews2likes2Comments
