    Exclamation up50 breaks Windows 2008 cluster!

    Warning!

    I updated to up50 tonight and Windows 2008 R2 cluster had big troubles with CSV (redirected IO), because iSCSI persistent reservation has an issue in this release ...

    I will contact support tomorrow. I went back to up40.4550 which does his job.

    The cluster validation log says:

    Failed to read drive layout of Cluster disk 1 from node cluster02, status 170
    Cluster Disk 1 does not support Persistent Reservations. Some storage devices require specific firmware versions or settings to function properly with failover clusters. Please contact your storage administrator or storage vendor to check the configuration of the storage to allow it to function properly with failover clusters.

    So is the recomendation to stay with UP40 if you are using Hyper-V R2 Failover Clustering?

    Question

    I read in release notes of upcoming release (up55; in engineering phase) that there is a fix for troubles in SCSI-3 PR with LUNs bigger than 2 TB - will this fix this issue??

    ...any new information about this? I have two separate Hyper-V setups using two Open-e storage systems. I want to combine them into a fully redundant clustered system with failover on the Open-e devices.
    But not until it will actually work!
