    Default problems here as well

    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?

    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?
