Re: Win2k3 R2 - Storage Reporting on File Svr Cluster (SCSI-Attach

Hi Paul,

Are you using FSRM? Because in clustered environments, FSRM only allows you
to generate reports on shared disks for which a cluster disk resource
exists.

Chuck,

This is an IBM EXP400 disk array and the ipsha.dll from IBM is loaded.
The
logical shared disk seen at drive D:. This is installed on each node,
however, when I browse the server and select any disk letter from the
report
scope dialog, i get the error that it's on a cluster server.

The documentation seems a little lacking with setting this up on a
cluster
server. Is there anything online to step someone through it?

Thanks in advance,
Paul

Greets!

I've recently set up a 2-node file server cluster under Windows 2003
Ent.
R2 with a scsi attached disk array. Failovers work great and life is
grand, however I would like to set up the new R2 features for Storage
Report Management and send out reports to our SysAdmin group. The
problem
is that the MMC tool won't let me report on the drive that I need since
it's a cluster node.

I get the dialog:
Selected report scope paths: D:\.

You have chosen an invalid combination of paths for the report scope.
On
clustered deployments, all report scope paths should be set on volumes
that belong to the same cluster resource group. Please select valid
report scope paths.

As I am relatively new to doing Windows Clustering (this was my 1st
one
actually), either I'm missing something in the terminology or some
configuration setting that I overlooked needs to be set.

I'm hoping someone can guide me to the answer.

Thanks in advance,
Paul L.
