Re: Huge Problem with windows Clustered File servers

What app freezes? Have you contacted the vendor for support?

We have an Citrix/Terminal server environment.
When the problem occurs we get complaints of our user that their apps
freeze
up.
It's seems that the server service is the problem becaus we cannot
stop/restart it. When we failover the virtual server to the other node all
user apps respond again and all share are avaible.

We don't get any errors or warnings in the eventviewer or the cluster
logs.
And because we do sometimes up to 4 failovers a day we get complaints from
the users because they get corrupt profiles and other file corruptions and
even crashes from apps that rely on file shares.

I hope this helps

cheers,

Peter

thnx for your respons.
I know the article and from what I understand it's just a setting to
force
a
failover when something stops responding and the cluster does not
detect
it.

But it does not solve the issue why the server service stops
responding.
I used the microsoft MPS_Report tool to generate reports but didn't
find
anything.

We have the following problem with our active/active filecluster.

many times , sometimes multiple times a day our filecluster freezes.
we tracked the problem and found out that the server services stops
responding.
when we do a failover to the other node the virtual servers respond
again.

we cannot stop/restart the server service, we need to reboot the
server
to
get it working again.
Because of a earlier error we've got a lot of small files (ico
files)
on
the
shares (couple of hundred thousends).
Could this be a problem?

we monitor the servers actively and we don't see low memory of high
disk
queue lengths.

Both servers are Windows Server 2003 Enterprise SP1 with gigabit
network
and
2 gigs of RAM.

Hope someone can point me to a solution.

TIA

Peter
