Clustering Windows 2008



Hi, we are trying to make a simple file share cluster with a couple of
Windows 2008 64-bit servers. The Step By Step Guide from MS is not nearly
as good and detailed for 2008 as it was for 2003.

I presented 2 LUN's to both servers (which seems incorrect to begin with,
but that is what the documents says) and both servers see the LUN's, MPIO is
installed. So....

I run the Validate a cluster tool.

First error it gives:
"Found duplicate IP address, blah blah blah...." This is the Teredo
Tunneling Pseudo Interface. I found a previous post and ran the command
"netsh interface teredo set state disabled", the server said "Ok" (whatever
THAT means) and it still errors on the validation. I rebooted the potential
nodes and it still errors on the validation.

Second error it gives:
"Validate storage supports SCSI-3 Persistent Reservation commands"
"Failed to read drive layout of Cluster Disk 0 from node NodeNameB, status
21"
"Cluster Disk 0 does not support Persistent Reservation"
"Cluster Disk 1 does not support Persisent Reservation"
So does that have to do with the fact that I presented both LUN's to both
potential nodes without cluster installed? Usually I would not do that but
the step by step guide says 2 LUN's must be presented to the nodes. Then
again it is trying to test the LUN's from both nodes so I don't know.

This is frustrating, especially because even if we get past these errors,
all the other tests that didnt run because of these first errors will
probably just create more errors.

Thanks in advance for any help.
