Clustered Storage Spaces Management
What is the best way to manage 2 node windows clustered storage spaces. I have two storage Pool and have General Purpose(NFS), ISCSI target Server(ISCSI) and Scale out file server (SMB) roles installed in MS cluster. Storage will be provisioned to
many servers for internal customers as NFS, SMB and ISCSI
1- What is the best to manage virtual disk, volume ? What I create one virtual disk and and one volume for each server ? or create two virtual disk from each storage pool one for mirror and one for parity and expand as needed ?
2- Why I assign drive letter to volume i create. Is there better way to manage this ?
Any best practice document or KB or help will be really appreciated
Thank you,

That's a bad idea to mix Scale-Out File Server role with anything else... Make your SoFS nodes feed shared storage to Hyper-V layer and spawn all other services (failover iSCSI, clustered SMB3 and NFSv4) as a set of a separate VMs.
Hyper-V Shared Nothing Cluster. Only two Hyper-V hosts needed.

Clustered Storage Spaces - 3 disk minimum for 2-way mirror?
Why will a 2 disk, 1 column, 2-way mirrored space work fine outside of a cluster? Yet, when I want to use clustered storage spaces I need a minimum of 3 physical disks for a 2-way mirrored space? Killing me...
I mean if I add 2 additional disks and do a 4 disk, 2 column, 2-way mirrored space it's ok. What would be the purpose of using 3 disks as a minimum?
Thanks,
ScottHi,
Could you please give us more detailed explanation to help us understand your question?
“Cluster storage space” did you mean “Cluster Share Volume” for Hyper-V Cluster?
What did you mean “mirrored space”, did you mean software mirrored volume? For a cluster, we recommend you use a shared storage and configure disk fault tolerance with hardware RAID.
Give us more information of your questions for further troubleshooting.
For more information please refer to following MS articles:

Using Clustered Storage on DFS - SQL Server reports insufficient space
We have a Clustered Storage Space setup within our DFS at \\ournamespace\shares\sofs. This server has 9TB of space, but the namespace root has only 100GB. When trying to migrate/restore databases larger than 100GB, SQL server complains about the storage
availability at the \\ournamespace\shares. Is there any way to tell SQL server that the complete path should be evaluated instead?
Our solution to this is to create a new namespace that is hosted by our CSV.This is my restore command and the resulting error message:
Note here, I'm specifying the full path for the restore location, yet SQL server seems to complain about the "shares" namespace.

First cluster - Server 2012 r2 - storage spaces issues
Hi Everyone
We just purchased two new servers (Lenovo RD640's) and an external SAS JBOD enclosure (the Lenovo SA120), and we would like to set up a 2012 r2 failover cluster with clustered storage spaces as the shared storage. Currently they are
on their own domain with the virtual active directory server residing locally on one of the servers.
Preface: I've created and destroyed the cluster and storage spaces multiple times trying to solve this issue, so I don't know if I may have "leftovers" from those attempts now causing issues for me.
I can create the cluster, and it passes validation, and can create a clustered storage pool, but every time I try to create a virtual disk (either through the Failover cluster manager, the server manager, or powershell), it won't attach. If
I try to manually attach it I get the message: "Error attaching or detaching virtual disk: Failed to attach virtual disk to <node name>. Access denied"
Finally (and I don't know if this is related or not), when in storage spaces on the server manager, there is a gold banner at the top that says "Incomplete communication with cluster <cluster name>. The following cluster nodes or clustered roles
might be offline or have connectivity issues: <cluster name>"
I'm logged in with full domain administrator credentials, and have been running my head against this wall for a few days now. Any help would be appreciated!Thanks for your responses. Here is what I have to report:
When I destroy the cluster, and create the storage spaces on just one of the two servers (with the other server powered down), I'm able to create the storage pool - using all the HDDs and SSDs - and virtual disks (both tiered and non-tiered) without issue.
As soon as I create the cluster again, the virtual disks become "detached", and I'm back to the situation described initially.

How to create a local, non-clustered storage pool
Hello,
I have setup a two-node Failover Cluster, with a shared SAS DAS. So far so good.
One of the nodes also has internal disks that I wish to use for system backups.
This storage pool should not be clustered, as the disks cannot be seen from the other node. The trouble is that as soon as I create the pool it gets added to the cluster (in failed state).
In fact, the "Storage Pools" window in the server manager will only show me the "clustered storage spaces", with my internal disks in the Primordial pool.
Get-StorageSubSystem will show me both subsystems (Clustered Storage Space on ... + Storage Spaces on node-1) but fails to create a storage pool on the "local" subsystem.
How can I create a local, non clustered storage pool on internal disks ?
Cheers
alexHi,
SpackTime_ is right, the DA storage usually for the localdata backup, but if you want to use for remote computer backup, you can share a floder then you can storage your backup, but also that backup won't work the shared computer crash.

Storage Space - Inaccessible, reconnect drives
Hi
My 2 HDD Mirror Storage Space is no longer accessible. I cannot see it in explorer, and under Storage Space Manager it says Inaccessible, Reconnect drives. Both disks under Physical Disks are displaying as OK, so I'm really scratching my head.

Any help here would be appreciated, really scratching my head. Even when I connect each of the single disks on their own they don't show up

Old system disk setup into a Windows 8 storage space
I have a old 2TB Windows system disk. How do I prepare the disk so that it can be added as a drive into Windows storage space?
I have already deleted all but on partitions (except the system reserved partition) but Storage Space management still cannot see the new physical drive that can be added.Hi,
The disk added should be un-formatted/un-partitioned drives, please make sure the disk has no partitions, and then add it again.
For storage space, here are some more information:

I was told that I have 14.9 gb of space on my phone when my total is 15gb. I was adviced to free storage and to click on settings and manage my storage by either purchase more or turning off or deleting some of the back ups. When I went in to settings then to icloud it usually would of showed me both phone storage memory and when I started going down my list and turning off some of the apps from back ups of certain app all of a sudden I couldnt no longer see my phone storage memory or my account name for that matter. Now I only see the other line username and storage space that the other phone has.
What can I do? I used to see the list of all the apps I have on icloud and now its empty and it tells me I have available 13.4 gb available.
Please advice. Thank you
PatriciaI cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
See Pondini's page for more explanation: What are Local Snapshots? http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?

3 Node hyper-V 2012 R2 Failover Clustering with Storage spaces on one of the Hyper-V hosts
Hi,
We have 3x Dell R720s with 5x 600GB 3.5 15K SAS and 128 GB RAM each. Was wondering if I could setup a Fail-over Hyper-V 2012 R2 Clustering with these 3 with the shared storage for the CSV being provided by one of the Hyper-V hosts with storage spaces installed
(Is storage spaces supported on Hyper-V?) Or I can use a 2-Node Failover clustering and the third one as a standalone Hyper-V or Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V and storage spaces.
Each Server comes with QP 1G and a DP10G nics so that I can dedicate the 10G nics for iSCSI
Dont have a SAN or a 10G switch so it would be a crossover cable connection between the servers.
Most of the VMs would be Non-HA. Exchange 2010, Sharepoint 2010 and SQL Server 2008 R2 would be the only VMS running as HA-VMs. CSV for the Hyper-V Failover cluster would be provided by the storage spaces.I thought I was tying to do just that with 8x600 GB RAID-10 using the H/W RAID controller (on the 3rd Server) and creating CSVs out of that space so as to provide better storage performance for the HA-VMs.
1. Storage Server : 8x 600GB RAID-10 (For CSVs to house all HA-VMs running on the other 2 Servers) It may also run some local VMs that have very little disk I/O
2. Hyper-V-1 : Will act has primary HYPER-V hopst for 2x Exchange and Database Server HA-VMs (the VMDXs would be stored on the Storage Servers CSVs on top of the 8x600GB RAID-10). May also run some non-HA VMs using the local 2x600 GB in RAID-1
3. Hyper-V-2 : Will act as a Hyper-V host when the above HA-VMs fail-over to this one (when HYPER-V-1 is down for any reason). May also run some non-HA VMs using the local 2x600 GB in RAID-1
The single point of failure for the HA-VMs (non HA-VMs are non-HA so its OK if they are down for some time) is the Storage Server. The Exchange servers here are DAG peers to the Exchange Servers at the head office so in case the storage server mainboard
goes down (disk failure is mitigated using RAID, other components such as RAM, mainboard may still go but their % failure is relatively low) the local exchange servers would be down but exchange clients will still be able to do their email related tasks using
the HO Exchange servers.
Also they are under 4hr mission critical support including entire server replacement within the 4 hour period.
If you're OK with your shared storage being a single point of failure then sure you can proceed the way you've listed. However you'll still route all VM-related I/O over Ethernet which is obviously slower then running VMs from DAS (with or without virtual SAN
LUN-to-LUN replication layer) as DAS has higher bandwidth and smaller latency. Also with your scenario you exclude one host from your hypervisor cluster so running VMs on a pair of hosts instead of three would give you much worse performance and resilience:
with 1 from 3 physical hosts lost cluster would be still operable and with 1 from 2 lost all VMs booted on a single node could give you inadequate performance. So make sure your hosts would be insanely underprovisioned as every single node should be able to
handle ALL workload in case of disaster. Good luck and happy clustering :)

No roll storage space of length 2352 available for OCCURS area : Error in SAP Service Manager 4.0
Hi All,
I am facing one issue while downloading Service Orders in SAP Service Manager 4.0 with SMP 2.3 SP03
I am working in the development environment where I have 15 - 20 Service Orders. When I am transmitting the client it downloads the rest of the configurations properly like complex tables, data tables, rules, screens etc but as soon as it hits /SMCRM/BTX_DOSERVICEORD_GET it does not downloads anything. I get a session time out error and then the ATE gets crashed.
I checked in the logs where I found -
throwExceptionToClient::com.syclo.sap.component.serviceorder.steplet.ServiceOrderFetchSteplet::throwExceptionToClient::285::ServiceOrderFetchSteplet - No roll storage space of length 2352 available for OCCURS area.
2014/05/13 14:04:12.082: ServiceOrderFetchSteplet: doSteplet returned false; no data to process
As I said its in the development environment it has hardly 15 - 20 Service Orders but when checked with the basis team it is consuming all the 65GB RAM and hence could not proceed further.
Please let me know what could be the possible error and how can I fix this.
Please advise.
Thanks and Regards
Neha Mahanty

Only 15-20 service orders, but how much data on those orders? SM 4.0 brings down potentially a lot of data per service order, including:
Addresses,
Business Partners,
Categorizations,
Confirmations (and all the data under those),
History Records (There can be a lot of those),
Items,
Reference Objects (This could be a huge installed base).
You may need to debug the java and adjust what data is pulled down and/or examine the Service Orders to see where the bottle-neck is. You should also increase the timeouts in your Agentry.ini file. Those settings are in seconds.

Sync manager part fail: "Error: Insufficient Storage Space&qu
I'm using sync manager to transfer my collection of 3502 songs from my Zen Xtra to my PC before I upgrade to a 60GB Vision M.
It completes the sync but with 92 songs moved and a message that it is "complete with errors". The remaining songs each have the message "Error: Insufficient Storage Space"
The peculiar thing, my computer has 240GBs free!
Please can someone advise how to fix this and backup my songs? - Thank you.You're not the only one with problems synching with?an Xtra. It appears that creative introduced a bug in their newer software that causes the transfer to fail regardless of how much space you have. Try installing the old software that came with the Xtra to copy it off. Creative sure has stellar support for their products, eh?Next time I'll go with another vendor. This is simply shoddy service on their part.

How do I manage (i.e., limit) storage space for Messages?
How can the amount of storage space for Messages be limited and/or managed? Messages are currently taking up nearly 600MB of my iPhone and iPad devices storage space. Deleting old message threads does not appear to reduce it. And I don't consider myself to use messages excessively.

I recently paid £14 to increase the storage on my iPhone 3GS as I kept getting a message telling me i did not have enough storage space to update apps.
I still get the message and the only way to update my apps is to delete others!
Is this right? Have I wasted my money?
Advice please?Correct, you bought more space for icloud, to back up your data.
your phone is still an 8GB. either delete other apps, data or upgrade to a new phone with more GB. -
My ipad froze after the icloud attempted a backup and there isn't enough storage space. It will not respond when I click "close" or "settings" to monitor my icloud storage. Any suggestions?
Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

Track pad on Curve 9300 malfunctioning
Hi I recently got my first Blackberry, the Curve 9300 about a month ago. It's been perfect up until a few days ago when the track pad started to act strangely. It's getting worse and worse. If i'm trying to scroll down, it'll scroll up, etc. I've tri
