    Default active failover problems!

    Hello,

    We have active to failover.
    We had a problem of our 2 san servers so we started up with a new usb restore the configuration and we are not be able to join the cluster anymore.

    Problem 1:
    Failed to start the cluster, incorrect configuration (error code: 13).

    When we wan't to start the cluster:

    Replication tasks configured incorrectly

    Failover could not start because there are tasks that have their source and destination settings configured incorrectly or are not running:

    dss38724666 (local node) resources pool:
    Task: m1
    Status: interrupted (task restart needed)
    Local node: primary (OK) Remote node: secondary (OK)
    Go to volume replication modes management »

    You may also start cluster services locally so all resources will be served from local node but please be aware it is not recommended.

    Do you wish to start the cluster services locally?


    And we have some more info:

    Resources pool
    dss38724666 (local node) resources pool:
    Status:

    inactive
    Replication state:

    not synced
    Persistent reservation synchronization:

    inactive
    dss69504228 (remote node) resources pool:
    Status:

    not configured
    Replication state:

    not configured
    Persistent reservation synchronization:

    inactive

    How is it possible to let both san servers joining together.

    Kind regards,

    Patrick Harder.

    If this is Active / Active configuration, the logical volumes must be in there default locations (and in sync) before the cluster can be started on both nodes.

    Just be sure you are not going to sync old data over new data.
    For example, if nodeA has been source volumes for some time, be sure to sync that data to nodeB.
    Once sync is complete, you may need to stop some tasks and manually change appropriate volumes from source to destination or vice versa so they are in the default locations, start tasks again from source volumes, and then start cluster services.

    OK, but be sure to open a regular support case if you need urgent help. The forum is a wealth of information, but not first line support.
