W8K Cluster

[stefan]

I just spoke to techsupport in Germany.
I have sent the logs earlier this week.

The support person told me not to create 'bond' interfaces but connect to the iSCSI directory on the Fysical interface something like eth0. Those are the interfaces where the default IP numbers are on like: 192.168.0.220 and 192.168.1.220

I have not tested it yet, but perhaps it will help someone else.

I will probably test it tonight, the result will be posted here.

Good luck.
Stefan

No luck so far.

Still get the VPD failure in the validate.

Hope it will work very soon.

open-e Support, are there any news ...?

[Robotbeat]

I'm also looking to see if this works for anyone.

Our customer was getting first :

"Failed to Register PR key for cluster disk"

so we upgraded to DSS V6 and now he's getting:

"Storage does not support SCSI page 83h VPD descriptors for cluster disk "

I've advised to remove bondig on eth ports and see how it goes, but I can't sey that customer is happy about this.

I don't know about anyone else, but this is a huge dealbreaker for me. My plan is to cluster my Hyper-V Servers and I can't do that until this is resolved. Unless this is resolved I'm going to be forced to purchase a Dell or Equallogic SAN for twice the money, which is something I DON'T want to do!

I am using the DSS v6 trial, will be purchasing the upgrade shortly. Windows Server 2008 (& R2) clustering works fine, the only 'warning' now being presented is about the SCSI device Vital Product Data (VPD), I assume this functionality is being worked on currently? Could we have an update from the team pertaining to how this is going please?

OMG, this is exactly what I wanted to deploy......

Is it a bonding problem or any other problem?

Without CSV, Hyper-V R2 is almost the same as the useless Hyper-V. No live migration....no talk.....

Do you guys install core for all the Hyper-V R2 nodes or just pure Hyper-V Server R2?

[cphastings]

Well, as soon as this is fixed and I deploy R2 I will be running Server Core R2 Enterprise, because it gives you 4 free virtual licenses of Enterprise Server to run under Hyper-V.

To-M, still no answer on what is going on with this?

[cphastings]

Bump - no word from support on this issue?
