Re: Blue Screen on 2 nodes - Please Help

Rodney
they are both HP Proliant DL380 G3 3ghz dual processor, 2GB RAM
The Disks are what are known as VDisks - they are created on a HP EVA 5000
cabinet, which contains 100 146GB Drives in each slot. Some HP Management
Software allows you to create a virtual disk and make them present to each
node.

the Servers also run Netbackup 5.1 MP2 - they are known as Media Servers.
With regards to the resources taking 5mins, it does seem excessive,
especially as another site has the same hardware and can move resources to
either node in 60 to 90 seconds.

So I know something is amiss here! I have tried and tried to de-cipher the
BSOD, but I am getting nowhere fast :-(

On the BSOD, check your hardware. Windows Server 2003 almost never does this
without help. Either a bad driver or hardware is always the cause. Look
deeper.

What is the exact hardware? 5 minute maybe normal, though I doubt it.

the 2 nodes simply hold users data. 1 node hosts personal data and the 2nd
node hosts work data.
nothing complex about the setup from what I can see, but my understanding
is, the cluster has not been right for sometime, and I am unable to narrow
the issue down in the slightest.
It runs SP1 with all fixes applied, but it has not solved the problem,
where
moving resources takes >5 mins or more. Even in a failover situation,
takes
longer to bring the resources up. Majority seems to fail and stay offline.

Thank you
Simon

No idea on this but it would be good to know what kind of resources you
have
configured on the cluster and if this strange situation was there from
the
beginning or after some installation or update (OS or applications).
