If you can live without an extra layer of complexity (Veritas) then you
should do yourself a favor and get rid of it.

I have a two node cluster (Windows 2003 SP1) running Veritas Storage
Foundation for Windows 4.3 MP 1. Everything is working fine with the
resources on there so far, but that's fairly light load.

I'm now trying to migrate a large volume of data (~ 1 TB) using
ScriptLogic's SecureCopy, which is multi-threaded. What I find is that
frequently the job will be running for some time (could be an hour,
could be four hours) and the network name resource fails and takes a
minute or two to come back online.

Microsoft looked at the dumps and said "kernel lock caused by
vxio.sys". Veritas have come back and said they think it could be a
problem whereby large copies can cause their cluster software to fault.

Has anybody come across this before? This is going to be a high-load
cluster, and it seems like it might just be easiest to take Veritas out
of the loop.
