I've tried a lot of conbinations with services offline on one node or powered off, etc.
This nodes was on a Win2003 Cluster with the same storage, So i don´t know if this could be some driver, compatibiliti, MPIO upgrade needed, or some specific with the new version or process to build and handle resourses by Win2008.
¿Does anyone know what could be the cause or some configuration that could help?
Until discover the specific problem or cause i´ll do the following i i´ll notice you if that work
- Ensure Microsoft STORPort hotfix Q943545 (ref: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/Q943545/en-us) is installed to both nodes.
- Upgrade to the latest EMC qualified HBA firmware (Boot code) 1.64 (BIOS v1.26)
- Upgrade HBA driver to the latest EMC qualified ver 9.1.7.16
- Flash HBA parameters NVRAM setting to correct HBA parameters to EMC approved settings.
(Ref: page 37 on http://filedownloads.qlogic.com/files/Driver/67902/QLogic_Windows_04_23_08.pdf.
Also see page 124 to 126 for a procedure 'Updating the flash BIOS'... NVRAM settings for the HBAs can be flashed via SANsurfer by clicking Update NVRAM.)
Thanks and i hope any comment.
