Re: Cluster disks show as healthy in Disk Management

Hi,

The cluster has two nodes with 4 SAN attached disks. All resources are
active on one node at any one time, the resources are never split across
different nodes. This is the same across the other two node clusters in the
environment, which all show the same (when resources are moved from one node
'disk manager' shows unallocated on that node). This cluster shows Healthy
even after the node not holding resources has been rebooted.

Thanks for your input on this.

Many regards,

Stewart

How many nodes you have? and what is running on them - the resources? how
many physical disk resources? What all resources are active on each node?

Please let me know. I will try to answer after I look at your clustering
scenarion.

Hi Nirmal,

Thanks for that, however if these are configured the same as all my other
custers, how is it that the other cluster show differently. I have even
rebooted these two servers and they come back each time as healthy.

This is the default behaviour of clustering. Does the disk resources
refresh
automatically unlesss it connects to the disk manager? No, it is not.
that's
the reason It shows healthy.

I have several '2 node clusters', when I move resources from one node to
another the other on any of the clusters the relevent disks in Disk
Manager
shows Unallocated. However, I have recently built a new cluster and the
resources all show as Healthy evn though they are no longer on that
node.
I
cannot access the disks from the node not holding the resource, so
don't
think this is 'life threatening', however it would be nice to be able
to
find
out why it is happening and how to resolve the problem.
