Cannot add multiple members of a failover cluster to a DFSR replication group

Server 2012 RTM. I have two physical servers, in two separate data centers 35 miles apart, with a GbE link over metro fibre between them. Both have a large (10TB+) local RAID storage arrays, but given the physical separation there is no physical shared storage.
The hosts need to be in a Windows failover cluster (WSFC), so that I can run high-availability VMs and SQL Availability Groups across these two hosts for HA and DR. VM and SQL app data storage is using a SOFS (scale out file server) network share on separate
servers.
I need to be able to use DFSR to replicate multi-TB user data file folders between the two local storage arrays on these two hosts for HA and DR. But when I try to add the second server to a DFSR replication group, I get the error:
The specified member is part of a failover cluster that is already a member of the replication group. You cannot add multiple members for the same cluster to a replication group.
I'm not clear why this has to be a restriction. I need to be able to replicate files somehow for HA & DR of the 10TB+ of file storage. I can't use a clustered file server for file storage, as I don't have any shared storage on these two servers. Likewise
I can't run a HA single DFSR target for the same reason (no shared storage) - and in any case, this doesn't solve the problem of replicating files between the two hosts for HA & DR. DFSR is the solution for replicating files storage across servers with
non-shared storage.
Why would there be a restriction against using DFSR between multiple hosts in a cluster, so long as you are not trying to replicate folders in a shared storage target accessible to both hosts (which would obviously be a problem)? So long as you are not replicating
folders in c:\ClusterStorage, there should be no conflict.
Is there a workaround or alternative solution?

Yes, I read that series. But it doesn't address the issue. The article is about making a DFSR target highly available. That won't help me here.
I need to be able to use DFSR to replicate files between two different servers, with those servers being in a WSFC for the purpose of providing other clustered services (Hyper-V, SQL availability groups, etc.). DFSR should not interfere with this, but it
is being blocked between nodes in the same WSFC for a reason that is not clear to me.
This is a valid use case and I can't see an alternative solution in the case where you only have two physical servers. Windows needs to be able to provide HA, DR, and replication of everything - VMs, SQL, and file folders. But it seems that this artificial
barrier is causing us to need to choose either clustered services or DFSR between nodes. But I can't see any rationale to block DFSR between cluster nodes - especially those without shared storage.
Perhaps this blanket block should be changed to a more selective block at the DFSR folder level, not the node level.

Add IPv6 to a running failover cluster

Hi
I have a sql failover cluster running win2k8 R2 and SQL 2008 it was built around IPv4 the instance listens on IPv4 cluster IP address ( virtual IP)
I rescently got a request that there will be servers running in pure IPv6 networks and the need to be able to talk directly to the database using IPv6 that where I need to add a cluster IPv6.
The database is the backend for our backup server and it cannot be taken offline or allow a downtime of more than 30 minutes so rebuilding the cluster is out of questions
So my question how do I go by and add the IPv6 cluster address alongside the IPv4, I am not reffering to an IPv6 Resource.
Any suggestions will be very appreciated
Regards

Hello,
Please try to configure the NIC on the nodes for IPv6 and make sure the Host Record (A) has been created for IPv6 on the DNS server. I think that’s all you need.
I am sorry for the late response, I did not notice the thread on the forum.
Hope this helps.

Starting coherence server with a ProxyService - How to add multiple members

Hi,
I wonder how can we add multiple coherence instacnes to a same cluster when using the ProxyService.
I have the following in the configuration file . If we want to start another member to the cluster it fails as the port is already bound.
<proxy-scheme>
<service-name>ExtendTcpProxyService</service-name>
<thread-count>5</thread-count>
<acceptor-config>
<tcp-acceptor>
<local-address>
<address>localhost</address>
<port>9099</port>
</local-address>
</tcp-acceptor>
</acceptor-config>
<autostart>true</autostart>
</proxy-scheme>
Also, how can the client be decoupled with the coherence server address and port ?
On the client side , I have the following configuration which again restricts me to only connect to a particular host and port.
<caching-schemes>
<remote-cache-scheme>
<scheme-name>remote</scheme-name>
<service-name>ExtendTcpCacheService</service-name>
<initiator-config>
<tcp-initiator>
<remote-addresses>
<socket-address>
<address>localhost</address>
<port>9099</port>
</socket-address>
</remote-addresses>
<connect-timeout>10s</connect-timeout>
</tcp-initiator>
<outgoing-message-handler>
<request-timeout>5s</request-timeout>
</outgoing-message-handler>
</initiator-config>
</remote-cache-scheme>

<outgoing-message-handler>
<request-timeout>5s</request-timeout>
</outgoing-message-handler>
</initiator-config>
</remote-invocation-scheme>
</caching-schemes>
My questions are :
1)How can the coherence server members be in cluster when using the ProxyService.
2)How can client transparently connect to any available member from the cluster.
Appreciate your help and thanks in advance.

Hi Durga,
1)How can the coherence server members be in cluster when using the ProxyService.
The exception "port is already bound" appears because ou are trying to start another coherence server on the same machine. In this case, your proxy-scheme configuration should be different for different coherence servers running the proxies:
<tcp-acceptor>
<local-address>
<address>localhost</address>
<port>9099</port>
</local-address>
</tcp-acceptor>2)How can client transparently connect to any available member from the cluster.
Option 1: Use a hardware/software load balancer in front of your proxies and let your client configuration hold the hardware/software LB ip/port
Option 2: Implement AddressProvider interface and the details can be found here http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18686_01/coh.37/e18678/gs_configextend.htm#BEBCACFI
Option 3: Add multiple proxies in the client configuration as below:
<tcp-initiator>
<remote-addresses>
<socket-address>
<address>localhost</address>
<port>9099</port>
</socket-address>
<socket-address>
<address>localhost</address>
<port>10000</port>
</socket-address>
</remote-addresses>
</tcp-initiator>
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

Cannot add multiple file screens on a specific path

I have a situation where the limitation of adding a single file screen to a specified path just doesn't work.
Using Windows Server 2008 R2 64Bit
We don't allow users to store things like images, video and audio on any server and we want to be notified whenever someone attempts to do so.
To that end we setup the email notification and it works great.
The problem is that now, we get a notification for some file types where we don't want notification, but because you can only setup a single file screen for a specific path, the notifications are sent, in the hundreds most of the time.
What I really need is the ability to create a file screen for images, videos, audio and executable files that will send notification to the person responsible for ensuring users do not violate the usage policy, and a separate file screen for other
files that we have restricted because they simply create clutter and for the most part are automatically generated by the OS when the user logs into the domain ... things like desktop.ini and thumbs.db files. For these files, I do not wish to receive
notification because it isn't really a violation of the computer use policy so much as it is a restriction put in place to prevent unfettered clutter from filling the limited space we allocate for users.
Is there a solution that can be instituted that can make this happen?

Hi,
As you said we cannot set more than 1 file screen for a specific folder.
From your description you would like to stop the reports for some default files like desktop.ini, thumbs.db etc, how about add them into Exception list in the file screen you created for that folder? This seems to be the only workaround in current situation.

Cannot add multiple filters on a single column on certain libraries

On some of our lists/libraries, we can filter a single column to display a more than one selection. For example, column1 contains the following choices:
Yes
No
Maybe
I can add a filter to column1 and select Yes and Maybe. This works in some lists/libraries, but does not for others. When I try to select more than one value, the view resets and shows everything. The column we are trying to filter on is a choice column
and is not calculated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Where and how do you add your filter?
If you add the filter in your view, you can add the filter as below:

Each Entry can be a Member of a different Entry, and also can have multiple members.
Now i want to Update my List Items with Orchestrator IP "Update List Item" and want to add this members to my List Element. If i try it with one member, all is fine, but i want to add multiple Members to a List Entry
i tried to seperate with commas, semicolon, spaces, line breaks.....
For Example:
My list Element will repesent my Business Services like Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Exchange Mailbox, Client, Server......
No i want to add to the List Entry "Microsoft Exchange" the members "Exchange Mailbox" and "Client"

Cannot add email addresses from my address book

I can send one email using my address book by clicking "send email" in the drop down menu. I cannot add multiple email addresses from the address book - each time I clid "send email" an entirely new message is craeated. I don't necessarily need a group. I am using new mail in Lion, mail 5.2. "To" no longer is an active link to the address book. Is there a way to make it work like mail worked before this upgrade?

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. If you are coming from pre-Mountain Lion, then Address Book has changed to Contacts.
Open Contacts.
Select an Account in the group list, if you want the contact in a specific group. If Groups aren't showing, you can display them from the View menu.
Click the Add card button ( + ).
Enter the information for the contact.
If you need multiple entries for a particular field type, a new blank entry will show up below the one you are adding.
If you need other fields, use the Card menu to Add a new field type.
If you want to change the default fields available when you create a new card, choose Edit Template…
If you have sent emails to someone and you want to get that address to add to a Contact, use the Previous Recipients command in the View menu in Mail.
If you need to add a new Group, hover the cursor over the account name, and a + button will appear. Click it.

Windows 2008 Failover Cluster - Cannot add a generic service

Trying to add a generic service in a failover cluster.
Select the option Services and Application and it opens the wizard and then displays the error "An error was encountered while loading the list of services. QueryServiceConfig failed. The system cannot find the file specified"
The cluster validation wizard completes successfully. Permissions do not appear to be an issue as this account can seemly do everything else so I am at a loss to understand why this API is failing when it tries to query the server for services information.
Having searched the Internet the only thing I have found was someone posting a similar issue in the Greek language Technet forum(if I recall correctly) and their comment was they rebuild their cluster.
Windows 2008 (SP2) x64 two node cluster running a non-Microsoft database. We need to add a non-Microsoft Enterpirse backup solution and this is their documented method (adding it as a generic service) - both bits of software are from big vendors.
Symantec AV, but have tried with that disabled so don't think it has anything to do with that. Something is stopping the API from reporting back but I can't find what.
Really appreciate some help before we have to log a chargable call with Microsoft support
Thank you

Cannot add VM to Cluster

We have have Hyper-V 2012 Cluster with 2 Nodes that runs about 10 VMs, mostly Server 2008 R2 with a few 2012. Cluster storage is and iSCSI SAN with DSS7 from Open-e.
I have a VM that I cannot add to the Cluster. Its Server 2012 that runs Exchange 2013 with about 50 mailboxes. When I go to the Failover Cluster Manager the VM does not show up. I have had no problems adding any other VMs.
I am trying to determine why I cannot add this VM to the Cluster.
Thanks,
Todd

Hi Todd,
As you mentioned that :"Shows up and runs normally in Hyper-V Manager. Does not show up in Failover Cluster Manager as candidate for addition to the cluster."
Did you try to open
Failover Cluster Manager and run the
High Availability Wizard, choosing the
Virtual Machine Role to "add " the VM to cluster ?

Cannot add cluster disk on windows 2012

I have 2 servers connected to a shared storage array using Fibre Channel. Currently there are 2 luns on the storage device.
From the Failover Cluster Manager, when I select “Add Disk” from Storage – Disks, both luns show up and I can add them without problems. But if I choose to only
add one of them first (it doesn't make a difference which one is added first), then it will not allow adding the second one later. I get a message: "No disks suitable for cluster disks were found. For diagnostic information about disks available to the
cluster, use Validate a Configuration Wizard to run Storage tests."
When I do add one (or both disks at the same time), they work just fine for failover clustering.
I can’t imagine this is by design. Is this a known/unknown issue, or is there something special that needs to be done?
Thanks

Ok, no problem. I run the validation tests (Validate Cluster - Storage only) and I received the details shown below. I can clearly see that Cluster Validation tool does not find any disk suitable for 2012 cluster, and even I can see why (it is plain English).
Unfortunately this still does not explain how to fix the problem. Recommendations like "run Clear-ClusterDiskReservation PowerShell cmdlet to remove the Persistent Reservation from the disk" do not work - this discussion is available in another thread where
people having the same issue and no luck so far. I guess that I'm using old SAN (and I know that) that simply does not support SCSI-3 persistent reservation so those disks cannot be used in 2012 cluster. Oh well, will have to wait fro new SAN and then I can
play again...
Validation test results:
Physical disk with identifier {95059d50-a173-49bd-b029-fec326acd78c} has an existing Persistent Reservation placed on it, and will be removed from the validation set. This disk may already be clustered, on a different cluster or in use by another system.
Please verify the storage configuration and LUN zoning. If you wish to cluster this disk, you can use the Clear-ClusterDiskReservation PowerShell cmdlet to remove the Persistent Reservation from the disk.
Physical disk with identifier {0b301c72-c88f-47ee-9389-11efdeed6cdb} has an existing Persistent Reservation placed on it, and will be removed from the validation set. This disk may already be clustered, on a different cluster or in use by another system.

Please verify the storage configuration and LUN zoning. If you wish to cluster this disk, you can use the Clear-ClusterDiskReservation PowerShell cmdlet to remove the Persistent Reservation from the disk.
No disks were found on which to perform cluster validation tests. To correct this, review the following possible causes:
* The disks are already clustered and currently Online in the cluster. When testing a working cluster, ensure that the disks that you want to test are Offline in the cluster.
* The disks are unsuitable for clustering. Boot volumes, system volumes, disks used for paging or dump files, etc., are examples of disks unsuitable for clustering.
* Review the "List Disks" test. Ensure that the disks you want to test are unmasked, that is, your masking or zoning does not prevent access to the disks. If the disks seem to be unmasked or zoned correctly but could not be tested, try restarting the servers
before running the validation tests again.
* The cluster does not use shared storage. A cluster must use a hardware solution based either on shared storage or on replication between nodes. If your solution is based on replication between nodes, you do not need to rerun Storage tests. Instead, work
with the provider of your replication solution to ensure that replicated copies of the cluster configuration database can be maintained across the nodes.
* The disks are Online in the cluster and are in maintenance mode. No disks were found on which to perform cluster validation tests.

Cannot migrate VM in VMM but can in Failover Cluster Manager network adapters network optimization warning

I have a 4 node Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V Cluster and manage it with VMM 2012 R2. I just upgraded the cluster from 2012 RTM to 2012 R2 last week which meant pulling 2 nodes out of the existing cluster, creating the new R2 cluster, running the copy
cluster roles wizard since the VHDs are stored on CSVs, and then added the other 2 nodes after installing R2 on them, back into the cluster. After upgrading the cluster I am unable to migrate some VMs from one node to another. When trying to do
a live migration, I get the following notifications under the Rating Explanation tab:
Warning: There currently are not network adapters with network optimization available on host Node7.
Error: Configuration issues related to the virtual machine VM1 prevent deployment and must be resolved before deployment can continue.
I get this error for 3 out of the 4 nodes in the cluster. I do not get this error for Node10 and I can live migrate to that node in VMM. It has a green check for Network optimization. The others do not. These errors only affect
VMM. In the Failover Cluster Manager, I can live migrate any VM to any node in the cluster without any issues. In the old 2012 RTM cluster I used to get the warning but I could still migrate the VMs anywhere I wanted to. I've checked the network
adapter settings in VMM on VM1 and they are the same as VM2 which can migrate to any host in VMM. I then checked the network adapter settings of the VMs from the Failover Cluster Manager and VM1 under Hardware Acceleration has "Enable virtual machine
queue" and Enable IPsec task offloading" checked. I unchecked those 2 boxes refreshed the VMs, refreshed the cluster, rebooted the VM and refreshed again but I still could not live migrate VM1. Why is this an issue now but it wasn't before
running on the new cluster? How do I resolve the issue? VMM is useless if I can't migrate all my VMs with it.

I checked the settings on the physical nics on each node and here is what I found:
Node7: Virtual machine queue is not listed (Cannot live migrate problem VM's to this node in VMM)
Node8: Virtual machine queue is not listed (Cannot live migrate problem VM's to this node in VMM)
Node9: Virtual machine queue is listed and enabled (Cannot live migrate problem VM's to this node in VMM)Node10: Virtual machine queue is listed and enabled (Live Migration works on all VMs in VMM)
From Hyper-V or the Failover Cluster manager I can see in the network adapter settings of the VMs under Hardware Acceleration that these two settings are checked "Enable virtual machine queue" and Enable IPsec task offloading". I unchecked those
2 boxes, refreshed the VMs, refreshed the cluster, rebooted the VM and refreshed again but I still cannot live migrate the problem VMs.
It seems to me that if I could adjust those VM settings from VMM that it might fix the problem. Why isn't that an option to do so in VMM?
Do I have to rebuild the VMM server with a new DB and then before adding the Hyper-V cluster uncheck those two settings on the VM's from Hyper-V manager? That would be a lot of unnecessary work but I don't know what else to do at this point.

Failover Cluster Manager : Add node wizard Error " This operation returned because the timeout period expired" Windows Server 2012

Hi Everybody,
I have two node cluster and trying to add the third node (which is a Virtual Machine), all nodes are in different subnet and can communication with each other. While adding the third node it gives the error at the end of wizard " This operation
returned because the timeout period expired ". My domain controller is 2008 Enterprise Server and nodes are all running Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition. Any idea what is causing the issue.
thanks

Hi,
Before you add a server (node) to a failover cluster, we strongly recommend that you run the Validate a Configuration Wizard for the existing cluster nodes and the new node
or nodes. The Validate a Configuration Wizard helps you confirm the configuration in a variety of important ways. For example, it validates that the server to be added is connected correctly to the networks and storage and that it contains the same software
updates. Please post the error or warning report.
Please try to install the Recommended hotfixes and updates for Windows Server 2012-based failover clusters:

Can't add VM to Failover Cluster Manager

I have two VMs: a virtual DC and a virtual SCVMM. I opened up a Failover Cluster Manager and tried to add both machines. The DC added successfully but I can't get the SCVMM to add.
The error is:
"There was a failure configuring the virtual machine role for '<my_machine_name>'
The RASD '\\<cluster>\\root\virtualization\V2:Msvm_ResourceAllocationSettingData.InstanceID="Microsoft:BBA1664E-07AB-41FA-B3B4-DBA795117449\\663F3FFA-8784-4E92-9A9B-99FC3D705BAC\\0\\0\\D" is not a valid disk type."
I have no idea what this error is trying to tell me...any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your response.
I double-checked and the VM is located on the shared cluster container. I went into Hyper-V Manager and looked at the paths and both the virtual machine and virtual hard disks are in the cluster container.
I have two VM XML files in the cluster container which I've noted with their GUIDs. For a sanity check, I also went into the specific host and navigated to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Virtual Machines and found that the same XML files
there too. Should those be there? They are both there so I don't see why I could add the virtual DC but not my virtual SCVMM.
