Re: Cloning of cluster server to different hardware.

I'm confused by your post. Are you trying to run a 2 node cluster off of local server storage on one of the nodes? You must have shared storage of some sort to have a multi-node cluster.

Hope this helps,

Hi,
The current setup are followed.

Clustering of 2 server (both are active)
- all resources are map to the SAN
- Windows Server 2003 R2 64-Bit


Now, in the name of DR and money saving solution, the management want the DR
hardware to be cheaper and of lower 'power'

Instead of using SAN, all resources will be residing on the server RAID
storage.

I have tried cloned the server(HP DL580 G4) using Acronis Enterprise server
and restore(with and without Acronis Universal Restore) to a different
hardware (HP DL380G5). However, I'm not able to make the cluster up and
running. It keep encountering Event ID 1034.
Have tried the following acticle but it doesn't help
1) ID 280425, 243195,350793


Any advice?
