Hi,

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask my question...

We are having an issue with the System Volume Information on one of our Cluster Shared Volumes growing to a large size.
It currently sits at 598GB. 

We have two hosts - Three volumes, C:\ClusterStorage\ - Volume1 - Volume2 and Volume3.

The issue only appears to be happening on Volume2 in the System Volume Information folder and not sure what's causing it.

I have checked Shadow Copies on both hosts and all are disabled.

We run a daily windows backup on each host to separate USB drives also.

Thanks,
Adam

Hy folks 

I'm in a dilemma I installed a loadbalacing cluster in  a given domain and then installed a failover cluster on the same servers. Given that installing load balancing will add the same IP to the both nodes automatically to the both network adapters of the both nodes and then when you try to install sql server this won't be passed because the validation report of the failover cluster is not 100% valid  given that duplicate IP will be detected during the validation of the failover cluster how can one tweak this situation

The complexity resides in the simplicity Follow me at: http://smartssolutions.blogspot.com

Good Morning

I have 4 Failover clusters.  1 SQL Cluster, 1 HyperV Cluster, 1 IIS Cluster (Not NLB) and 1 File Cluster.  All running windows 2012.  The File cluster is fully upto date and has all the latest Firmware and Drivers installed and a couple off Windows Hotfixes for Windows Clustering.  The Hyper-V and SQL Cluster is scheduled for updates in the couple off weeks but both have been updated within the last couple weeks.  The problem I have on all four cluster is after a period off time, we are no-longer able to connect to the cluster from any node in the cluster.  What I mean is on the SQL Cluster after a period of time (This might be 3-4 weeks), if I connect to any of the nodes in the SQL Cluster and open fail-over cluster manager I am unable to connect to the cluster.  Fail-Over cluster manager first starts with "Connecting to Cluster" "The Operations is taking longer than expected", then after about 2-3 minutes an error comes up saying "The Operations has Failed", "An error occurred connecting to the Cluster '<Cluster-Name'>", If I then click on "See details" I get "An error occurred Trying to Display the cluster information", "One or more errors occurred","Provider load failure".

This same problem happens on all of our windows 2012 Clusters, we do have a 2012 R2 Hyper-V cluster but this is managed by a different team and I don't know if they have the same issue or not.

It seems to be one of the host that is causing the problem, normally the host that has Quorum, and if we reboot that host, which causes the cluster to fail over all the roles to a different node the cluster is then accessible again. Once the node that was rebooted comes back online everything is fine again for a period of time until this problem happens again.

If anyone has any suggest I would be very grate full.

The User I am using to Add Node is Domain Admin, so it may not be a permission issue.

All nodes are Windows 2012 R2 VMs on Azure

I'm posting this here as I think this is more of a clustering question than Exchange issue.

Setup:

ServerA - 2012R2 with Exchange 2013 DAG Primary Active Mounted

ServerB - 2012R2 with Exchange 2013 DAG Passive Healthy

ServerC - 2012R2 File Share Witness

If I shutdown ServerB gracefully (not running any of the Exchange maintenance scripts), the vote is never removed from ServerB. In cluster manager the votes never downgrade to zero, node goes offline but votes are not dynamically removed as I am expecting.

With Dynamic Quorum, I am expecting that if I shutdown ServerB gracefully it should remove its vote, secondly if I shutdown the fileshare witness, ServerA should not lose quorum and continue up.

Can someone let me know if I am missing something here, or if there is a specific process/command I have to issue when I shutdown ServerB, to cause it or make sure it looses it vote?

Thanks

Jason

I've HA Cluster running on Windows 2012 R2 with configured fail over cluster. it's running Windows 2008 , 2008 R2 , 2012 VMs.

already installed the Integration Services. when i tried to Live Migrate to other Node , it's getting failed.

in the event viewer below error message shows.

" Live migration of 'Virtual Machine ADVM-01' failed.

Virtual machine migration operation for 'ADVM-01' failed at migration source 'NODE01'. (Virtual machine ID D840382C-194B-4B4F-8BF5-19552537D0EF)

please advise me.

In my attempts to distinguish between computers & VCO / CNO, the only solution I’ve is to check the [editable] description field.

another option to check the servicePrincipalName/s is there but that's again editable. In an unguarded environment any one with Admin Rights can change it. Further there's this OperatingSystem which is populated only for boxes & not for VCO/CNO.

yup

Good afternoon folks, 

I am trying to remove two old clustered network interfaces from Failover Cluster Manager, so they can be used for other purposes.

The connections are both set to not use cluster network communications. These are interfaces that were previously connected to an OLD storage device on it's own SAN, however we now need the ports to be used as individual management interfaces for the physical servers.

Can anyone advise on this?

Regards

Hello,

I have a fileserver cluster environment with two members, NODEA and NODEB. The cluster name is FS01.

We have the quorum disk in the cluster that is active on owner node. 

My question is, when we perform the failover of cluster resources for NODEB, the quorum disk must migrate to NODEB too? If the quorum disk is not migrated instantly, that means we have a problem in the cluster?

Another question is, my cluster is making failover of resources with a certain frequency, it is possible to detect the cause? it is possible to increase the cluster threeshould?

Thank you

Had a cluster once...
If I open FCM I dont see any cluster.
Cant get rid of the Cluster membership!

PS C:\Users\administrator.LAB> Remove-ClusterNode hyperv1 -force
Remove-ClusterNode : The remote server has been paused or is in the process of being started.
    The remote server has been paused or is in the process of being started

I have stopped, restarted the cluster service, and still not able to get it out from the cluster.

Anyone who have any solution?

Hi All,

While starting the jboss server we are facing below issue on MSDTC. The DB used is SQL Server 2008 r2. This is a clustered DB environment and MSDTC is working fine on non-clustered environments.

Please help.

Hi

For the past few weeks we have been experiencing a strange issue with our failover cluster.

We currently have the following:

7 Nodes : Windows HyperV 2008 R2 Core Servers

SAM driven with 2 controllers, each have 2 network connections to each host.


We seem to be having an issue where random servers within the nodes are rebooting. This can happen at any time during the day, sometimes more than once a day and can easily be more than 1 host at a time or throughout the day. The actual nodes themselves do not restart and appear to be running fine with no connection loss. The servers within the nodes reboot but do not failover to another server.

When looking through the event logs on the failover cluster manager I see this happens everytime: 

Event ID: 1230
Cluster resource 'SCVMM RGVSVR031-T' (resource type '', DLL 'vmclusres.dll') either crashed or deadlocked. The Resource Hosting Subsystem (RHS) process will now attempt to terminate, and the resource will be marked to run in a separate monitor.

Event ID: 1146
The cluster resource host subsystem (RHS) stopped unexpectedly. An attempt will be made to restart it. This is usually due to a problem in a resource DLL. Please determine which resource DLL is causing the issue and report the problem to the resource vendor.

I have looked through logs on the machines that have caused the deadlock but nothing is apparent. Its never a set time or day its completely random. The servers do come back online but its a pain taking out our systems for at least 15 minutes.
Its not always the same server as its completely random but multiple servers have been logged more than once. 

Really stuck what to do next or have any idea whats causing this? All nodes are fully patched with the latest server pack 1.

We have a five node windows 2012r2 stretched cluster, running SQL. Three nodes are on our production site and two nodes are on our DR site. We have multiple SQL instances running in production, we have SQL replication running over to our DR site, which is running multiple SQL instances too.

We have configured our three production nodes with quorum votes, the DR site does not have any votes.

So we have three quorum voters at our production site, the two DR nodes have no votes.

If two of the Quorum voters fail, we would expect the cluster to fail, as the votes left (i.e. 1) is less than half.

We have not configured any disk witness.

In a full DR scenario, we are planning to manually configure a disk witness and assign votes to the DR nodes.

We are puzzled why our cluster continues to function, when two of our three quorum voters are down. i.e. two of our production nodes go down, the third one continues to function.

The cluster validation report states "The quorum will be able to sustain failure of two nodes", I am reading "the quorum" being the nodes with votes, if this is the case, then the validation report is telling us, correctly, how the production nodes behave, when two go down, but we are still puzzled with this behavior.

Can anyone explain how the cluster stays up when two of three voters go down?

Hi,

Hyper-V cluster environment:

JBOD->2* storage spaces server 2012 R2->…network share-> Hyper-V cluster 2012R2

Some VM start unexpected rebooting on one node. In last 2 days 3 times.

In event log I found events:

Where I have to look for cause of problem?
