Storage Foundation 7 from Windows Update
Hi I have Storage Foundation 6 Basic running on windows 1008 R2 which has been working flawlessly for years. I received Storage Foundation 7 through windows update (it was 1 MB so I guess its only the driver). I made the mistake of installing it and now it no longer works. I can see the following error messages in the windows system event log The following service is taking more than 16 minutes to start and may have stopped responding: Veritas Enterprise Administrator Service and this one too: vxboot: cannot set vxconfigd's pid: VxBoot.sys error: 3221225485 For more information, click the following link: http://entsupport.symantec.com/umi/V-204-57344-1 So what it the best thing to do, try and get version 7 working or just uninstall veritas and reinstall version 6 and hope that it will see my volumes?

Hi all, To migrate from a W2K3 SFWHA 5.1 SP2 cluster environment I am looking for a solution that gives to less impact for users and application. We run only SQL 2005 and 2008 instances on this cluster. So I was thinking about the solution toadd a W2K8 R2 SFWHA 6.0 node into this existing cluster? Is this possible? Are there any experiences with 6.0 yet? (possitive and negative?) IvoSolved808Views0likes2CommentsWin2008-R2, VSF-5.1, Device name change
We have a situation where we need to rename CD drive from such as D: and E: to X; and Y: . We usually do this before loading and setting up Veritas Storage by using the Microsoft Disk Tool in Device Management. Once VSF is loaded this tool is no-longer available and we cannot use it to rename the drive letter. A CD drive was left as E: and now that VSF is loaded we can not find a way to change its letter, since VSF has taken over the tool we normally use. Does anyone know how we may now change the drive letter on this CD device so when one looks a file explorer, the drive will no longer show as E: but as X: for instance. ?Solved741Views0likes2CommentsAfter update VSFHA from 5.1SP1a to 5.1SP2 dont start VCSComm

Hi everyone, I am very new to Veritas Storage Foundation and I need your assistance greatly. We have 2 nodes windows 2003 Ent. cluster with Veritas Storage Foundation ver 4.3.1000.350 (from "about server" menu) installed. There is "Paths" tab when viewing the Disks group, so I assume we also have DMP installed? Here are my questions: 1) How to tell if the version is "Veritas Storage Foundation" or "Veritas Storage Foundation HA"? 2) How to tell if we have MP1 installed? From our current version, we are asked to upgrade to 4.3 MP2 to fix a bug. The MP2 file has 2 versions, the one with "HA" and the one with none. So back to question #1 above, can anyone tell me what our version is. Or, how to check the version. My next questions: 3) If our version doesn't have MP1, can we upgrade to MP2 directly? or do we need to upgrade to MP1 first, then MP2? 4) Any KB or guide for such upgrade? 5) Any known tips/warning about such upgrade for version 4.3? I apologize for the long post, and any help will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance. Regards, DonSolved966Views0likes4Comments
