Re: Move fails - some drives do not come online?

I looked over your cluster log, which was difficult to read as posted, recommend next time saving the log, zip it and then post. If you can repro the problem, capture the log from the node on which the disks fail to come online, zip it up, report the log and then tell us which failures are being mentioned in the Event ID 1069 messages in the system log, that may help.

Another tidbit that may or may not be important. Server1 was a hand
load, Server2 is a Ghost of Server1. Server1 was loaded to
workgroup mode and just the basic common settings & custom settings
were done. The drives on the DAS had not been configured yet.
Made Ghost image with the -fdsp switches. Restored to Server2,
booted, changed IPs', ran NewSID to apply new SID & change name.

I honestly cannot remember if we used Ghost images in the previous
builds.

Trying to save myself a call to MS on Monday here!

First off: Documentation used to create the cluster & copies of the
cluster.log files are located athttp://www.dougmasters.com/cluster/
The only error logged in the Event Log is ClusSvc 1069

I have confidence with the document since it's been used many times to
create clusters at my work, document was created building cluster on
the exact same hardware that I am now having troubles with. After I
wrote the document all of my co-workers flattened the servers and
rebuilt with it so they would know how to do, never had problems.
Until this week...

Details:
Two Dell PE 6450 Servers, PERC cards in each. One PERC foir internal
drives, One PERC connected to external Dell SCSI Array
Windows Server 2003 Ent with SP1 at first. Installing SP2 didn't
help my life any. No other patches or software installed, these guys
are fresh & clean.

Problem:
All of the resources work just fine on Server1, but when I try to move
the Resource Groups to Server2, most of the disks "fail" and won't
come on-line. The Cluster Group with the Quorum disk comes up just
fine, as does one of the resource disks, but the MSDTC drive and three
of the other resource drives do not.

I am at a total loss, my co-worker has spent days re-doing this over
and over to the same result. I took over on it today and I'm having
the same problem. On Tuesday, this was a working active-active
SQL2000 cluster and is a ground up rebuild to get an active-active
SQL2005 cluster going.

Thanks for any help!
