Exchange Failover Cluster Resource

Hi,
Can someone help confirm if amending the Exchange 2010 DAG Cluster Resource to include an empty role with just a shared IP is supported?
This is not for any an exchange function but for a backups to target an active member, in the event of a failure.
Thanks

Hello msadiq,
As you have Veritas Cluster I suggest you speak to Symantec. We only support Sun/Oracle Cluster.

Steve

DFS-R folder resources Failed in Failover Cluster on Server 2008 R2

Maybe a week ago, 7 of our DFS-R Folder failover cluster resources lost their configuration data. In the resource list, they just show up as "()".
I've seen suggestions online that disabling the replicated folder will remove it from the Failover Cluster, and then re-enabling it will automatically add it back to the cluster. So, I've disabled it via the Connections tab, and that does nothing. The other
option is to disable it under the Memberships tab...but that has consequences, and I would rather not do that if it isn't necessary.
I'm also now seeing event ID 5012's popping up in the DFS Replication logs every hour or so.
The DFS Replication service failed to communicate with partner etc etc. The partner did not recognize the connection or the
replication group configuration.
Error: 9026 (The connection is invalid)
Now, "dfsrdiag pollad /verbose" or "dfsrdiag pollad /mem:<dc name>" both come back as successful. And a DFS Diagnostic Report brings back nothing apparently relevant to this issue, other than one error concerning the same event
ID 5012's.
Also, I've verified that it's not a DNS issue, pinging the home office DFS server from the site server resolves correctly, and vice versa. And the windows firewall is disabled on both servers. It's POSSIBLE that there is a network issue. Replication works
fine between the site server and the 2nd cluster server service, just not between the site server and the 1st cluster server service. However, via netstat I see active connections between the site server and the cluster server, as well as the active cluster
host (although, just a single connection to the clustered DFS server, but ~6 to the cluster host itself).
So, I'm completely at a loss here. Any recommendations?

Hi,
This error usually occurs when one partner attempts to establish an RPC connection with another member, but is unable to.
You could refer to the thread below to troubleshoot the issue:

SQL Server Failover Cluster Questions

Dear All,
            I am building a two-node failover cluster on SQL Server 2012 SP1 (inside Hyper-V as a Guest Cluster) and want clarification on few things that I am facing.
1.  I am receiving MSDTC Warning. I can go ahead and create the cluster, but want to understand whether this MSDTC is to be configured as a role on the cluster or not. I plan to run SCVMM, SCOM, Orchestrator and Windows Azure Pack Databases
and Reports through it so in such a scenario, do I need MSDTC? If yes, how much should be the size of the MSDTC Drive? Is following process correct?
http://www.sqlnotebook.info/configure-msdtc-on-windows-cluster-2012/
2. During First Node configuration, one needs to provide the "SQL CLUSTER RESEOURCE GROUP NAME". Does it have any bearing on how it will be accessed by other servers for databases and logs? or is it just how the cluster resource group
would be named? would it be required for every instance that is created inside the cluster? Just to be clear, so one can name it according to the instance name.
3. During the instance creation, one needs to provide "SQL Server Network Name". As stated above, I plan to run SCVMM, SCOM, Orchestrator and Windows Azure Pack Databases and Reports through it, so would I be required to provide this
for all instances that I create or this is only required once in the cluster:
4. During the instance creation, one needs to provide the features required for installation i.e. instance features and shared features. As stated above, I plan to run SCVMM, SCOM, Orchestrator and Windows Azure Pack Databases and Reports through
it, so which features should be selected? so that there is less workload on the server.
5. All the instances use TempDB for databases that are present inside it. What would be the best practice with respect to TempDB. One TempDB for all instance on the servers on a separate LUN or all instance having their own TempDB LUN?  What
should be the ideal size of the TempDB LUN?
6. Should all the disks required for DBs and Logs be added to Cluster?  Should they be added normal disks or CSV Volumes?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
1.You can run the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator service (MSDTC) as a clustered resource on a failover cluster server for increased reliability, based on the failover capabilities of the clustered servers. You can
refer to the MSDTC section of the following blog about determine whether the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) cluster resource must be created.
Reference:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189910.aspx#MSDTC
2. The Cluster Resource Group is where SQL Server failover cluster resource will be placed. Each clustered SQL Server will belong to a Failover
Cluster Resource Group. For example, if you had configure a two node SQL Server Cluster, each clustered instance on the two node belong to a same Cluster Resource Group.
You can change the Cluster Resource Group name, but notes the following name is reserved and already used as Resource Group names: Available Storage, Cluster Group.
3. Each SQL Server cluster is assigned a virtual Network name and IP address, which client applications use to connect to the clustered SQL Server.
4. Not familiar with SCVMM, SCOM, Orchestrator, but you should install the Database Engine Services and SQL Server Management tools.If you want to use SQL Server Reporting Services, you can install Reporting Servers, but Report Server service cannot participate
in a failover cluster.
5. You can use isolated disk for user database and temp DB of each SQL Server Cluster
6. Yes. You should use Cluster Disks which add to Clustered Shared Volumes to host the data file and log of databases.

Exchange 2013 MBX in DAG along with Hyper-V and Failover Cluster

Hi Guys! I've tried to find out an answer of my question or some kind of solution, but with no luck that's why I am writing here. The case is as follows. I have two powerful server boxes and iSCSI storage and I have to design high availability
solution, which includes SCOM 2012, SC DPM 2012 and exchange 2013 (two CAS+HUB servers and two MBX servers).
Let me tell you how I plan to do that and you will correct me if proposed solution is wrong.
1. On both hosts - add Hyper-V role.
2. On both hosts - add failover clustering role.
3. Create 2 VMs through failover cluster manager, VMs will be stored on a iSCSI LUN, the first one VM for SCOM 2012 and the second one for SCDPM 2012. Both VMs will be added as failover resource.
4. Create 4 VMs - 2 for CAS+HUB role and 2 for MBX role, VMs will be stored on a iSCSI LUN as well.
5. Create a DAG within the two MBX servers.
In general, that's all. What I wonder is whether I can use failover clustering to acheive High Availability for 2 VMs and at the same time to create DAG between MBX-servers and NLB between CAS-servers?
Excuse me for this question, but I am not proficient in this matter.

Hi,
As far as I know, it’s supported to create DAG for mailbox server installed in hyper-v server.
And since load balance has been changed for CAS 2013, it is more worth with DNS round robin instead of NLB. However, you can use NLB in Exchange 2013.
For more information, you can refer to the following article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj898588(v=exchg.150).aspx
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

Exchange 2013 DAG - Failover Cluster Warnings

I have two new Exchange servers (PROD1 and DR1) that I recently updated to CU8 in preparation for going into production. After reboots, I noticed that I had a warning on the "Server Manager" window.
PROD1 lists itself, DR1, and DAG1 as servers though it marks DAG1 as not accessible.
DR1 lists only itself and PROD1. It does not list DAG1.
PROD1 is generating a ton of failover cluster errors (1205, 1254, 1069, 1044) while DR1 is clean.
In the Failover Cluster Manager of each server, the object of DAG1 is listed as "Offline". It has two IPs - one for each of the Exchange servers' subnets (this is where I think I screwed up). The IP for PROD1's subnet is 10.2.8.131
and is "Failed" and the IP of DR1 is 10.4.8.131 and is "Offline". The IP of PROD1 is 10.2.8.132 and DR1 is 10.4.8.132.
Attempts to bring the cluster object online fail "due to the failure of one or more provider resources".
The instructions I followed to set up the DAG did not mention the need for multiple NICs. I now think this is incorrect and would be willing to use separate subnets and NICs for the DAG if necessary. (I could use 10.2.12.X and 10.4.12.X instead.)
I am currently still able to fail the database copy between DR1 and PROD1 without any problems.

Hi Jkm,
As you said :PROD1 is generating a ton of failover cluster errors (1205, 1254, 1069, 1044) while DR1 is clean.
I suggest you post failover cluster errors to
[email protected] for our troubleshooting.
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim

Network DR test causes Exchange DAG network to fail (Failover Cluster Manager reports comms errors)

We have a DAG configured between 2 mailbox servers, one in each of our main data centres. Our comms team recently performed a DR test between our 2 data centres, switiching from the main production link to the backup link. During this outage the Failover
Cluster Manager reported errors, with each mailbox server reporting the other as uncontactable. The Events that were logged include the following:
Isatap interface isatap.{02ADE20A-D5D4-437F-AD00-E6601F7E7A9D} is no longer active. (EventID 4201)
Cluster node 'MAILBOX_SERVER' was removed from the active failover cluster membership. The Cluster service on this node may have stopped. This could also be due to the node having lost communication with other active nodes in the failover cluster. Run the
Validate a Configuration wizard to check your network configuration. If the condition persists, check for hardware or software errors related to the network adapters on this node. Also check for failures in any other network components to which the node is
connected such as hubs, switches, or bridges. (EventID 1135)
File share witness resource 'File Share Witness (\\WITNESS_SERVER\SHARE_NAME)' failed to arbitrate for the file share '\\WITNESS_SERVER\SHARE_NAME'. Please ensure that file share '\\WITNESS_SERVER\SHARE_NAME' exists and is accessible by the cluster. (EventID
1564)
Cluster resource 'File Share Witness (\\\WITNESS_SERVER\SHARE_NAME)' in clustered service or application 'Cluster Group' failed. (EventID 1069)
The Cluster service is shutting down because quorum was lost. This could be due to the loss of network connectivity between some or all nodes in the cluster, or a failover of the witness disk. Run the Validate a Configuration wizard to check your network
configuration. If the condition persists, check for hardware or software errors related to the network adapter. Also check for failures in any other network components to which the node is connected such as hubs, switches, or bridges. (EventID 1177)
The Cluster Service service terminated with service-specific error A quorum of cluster nodes was not present to form a cluster. (EventID 7024)
The Microsoft Exchange Information Store service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 5000 milliseconds: Restart the service. (EventID 7031)
Looking at the Cluster Events in the Failover Cluster Manager Snap-In i see a heap of Event ID 47 (cannot activate the DAG databases as the server is not up according to Windows Failover Cluster Service) and:
Node status could not be recorded. This could prevent some network failure logic from functioning correctly. NodeStatus:IsHealthy=True,HasADAccess=True,ClusterErrorOverrideFalse,LastUpdate=5/2/2011 8:25:42 AMUTC Failure:An Active Manager operation failed.
Error: An error occurred while attempting a cluster operation. Error: Cluster API '"ClusterRegSetValue() failed with 0x6be. Error: The remote procedure call failed"' failed.. (EventID 184)
Forcefully dismounting all the locally mounted databases on server 'BACKUP_MAILBOX_SERVER. (EventID 307).
Our Comms team doesn't believe it is a comms issue as they did not log any network communication errors between the servers in the two sites (using icmp). So if it is not a comms issue, how can I configure the Failover Cluster Manager to be resilient to
this type of network failover event.
Thanks
Dan

Isn't it also true that in a stretched DAG with even numbered nodes, the PAM needs to be in the same site as the active DAG node? If the connection between both nodes goes down, and the PAM is in the "passive" site, the primary node will
dismount the databases since it can't check with the PAM to make sure its safe for it to be up.
In a even-numbered node stretched DAG, the PAM changes to the DR/passive site everytime a failover occurs, but doesn't automatically switch back when you reactivate the primary node.

The cluster resource 'SQL Server' could not be brought online error while in completion stage of sql server 2012 failover installation

While installing sql server 2012 with failover clustering I got the following error:
The cluster resource 'SQL Server' could not be brought online. Error: There was a failure to call cluster code from a provider. Exception message: Generic failure. Status code: 5942. Description: The resource failed to come online due to the failure of one
or more provider resources.
The two nodes of the sql server failover have been successfully prepared. The error came while running the advance cluster completion option.
In the clustered events in failover cluster manager the following message is displayed:
Cluster resource 'SQL Network Name (CPCTestSQLClus)' of type 'Network name' in clustered role 'SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)' failed.
I have done various checking and the issue remained. I tried to start the sql

Windows server 2012 failover cluster error: Cluster resource 'Virtual Machine Configuration ... of type 'Virtual machine configuration in clustered role ... failed.

I have two windows 2012 host server that are clustered using windows failover cluster feature. Each server is hosting four VMs. When migrating from Host2 to Host1, the migration failed with the following error:
Cluster resource 'Virtual Machine Configuration SCPCSQLSRV01' of type 'Virtual Machine Configuration' in clustered role 'SCPCSQLSRV01' failed. The error code was '0x569' ('Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer.').
When this happens, the VM that I was migrating can no longer be started even on the original host. The only remedy is to restart the host server.
Any suggestion on resolving this problem?
Thanks
Ikad

Thanks. The article referred to above gives the solution to my issue. There is a group policy that is applied to the OU where the host servers were placed. Doing gpupdate /force temporarily removes the problem. Unfortunately the NT Virtual Machine\Virtual
Machines account is a special account that cannot be added like other accounts and granted the log on as a service right. The thread
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverhyperv/thread/d56f2eae-726e-409a-8813-670a406593e8 contains how it can be added which is by creating a group and running the command
Net localgroup VMTest “NT Virtual Machine\Virtual Machines” /add
to add it to a local group VMTest. VMTest is then assigned the right to log on as a service.

Failover Cluster Core Resources question on a Windows 2008R2 three node cluster

We have a three node Windows 2008R2 cluster with SQL Server 2008 R2 as a clustered resource. There are three resource groups in this cluster 1) Available Storage 2) Cluster Group 3) SQL Server. The Available Storage and SQL Server resource groups
reside on one node while the Cluster Group resides on another. The only resources residing in the Cluster Resource Group is the Cluster name and IP. I'd like to failover the Cluster Resource Group to be on the same node as everything else.
I'm not sure what the implications are on doing this. Failing over the Cluster Group shouldn't have any impact on the SQL Server Resource Group correct or would there be an interruption to SQL because of the failover of the Cluster Group. It's
an critical application of which I'm trying to gather some information for a change request and I know I'm going to be asked if this impacts the production database and everybody using it.
Thanks
RG

No, that should not impact anything. The cluster group is completely separate from the SQL group.

WWW service is not able to start via Microsoft Failover Cluster generic service resource

Environment
Cluster Nodes = two
Cluster Nodes OS = Windows 2008R2
Application = IIS
Query
I created generic service resources of many windows services under Microsoft Failover Cluster and they are failing over successfully but when I create a generic service resource for WWW, then the WWW service is not able to online
via Microsoft Failover Cluster. It stuck in online pending.
I have noticed two things.
1.) If the WWW service is set to manual and started at passive node and I manually restart the Active node then the WWW service successfully switch over to stand by/passive node. but if the WWW service is set to
manual and not started on stand by/Passive node then the WWW service is not failing over.
2.) if I kill the WWW service manually (as a test case) on Active Node via this command (taskkill /f /pid XXXX) then the WWW service failed and is not failing
over to standby/passive node.
Any comment will be appreciated. Thanks. Zahid Haseeb.

The problem is resolved. I feel that it will be helpful to other people who may face the same problem which I faced, so I wrote a blog on "How to configure IIS Web Site and Application Pool in Microsoft Failover Cluster" and mentioned almost all activities
which I have done. Kindly see the resolution under section "Configure some changes in Cluster Configuration" in the below link

Failover Cluster Manager 2012 Showing Wrong Disk Resource - Fix by Powershell

On Server 2012 Failover Cluster Manager, we have one Hyper-V virtual machine that is showing the wrong storage resource. That is, it is showing a CSV that is in no way associated with the VM. The VM has only one .vhd, which exists on Volume 16.
The snapshot file location and smart paging file are also on Volume 16. This much is confirmed by using the Failover Cluster Manager to look at the VM settings. If you start into the "Move Virtual Machine Storage" dialog, you can see
the .vhd, snapshots, second level paging, and current configuration all exist on Volume 16. Sounds good.
However, if you look at the resources tab for the virtual machine, Volume 16 is not listed under storage. Instead, it says Volume 17, which is a disk associated with a different virtual machine. That virtual machine also (correctly) shows Volume
17 as a resource.
So, if everything is on Volume 16, why does the Failover Cluster Manager show Volume 17, and not 16, as the Storage Resource? Perhaps this was caused by an earlier move with the wrong tool (Hyper-V manager), but I don't remember doing this.
In Server 2003, there was a "refresh virtual machine configuration" option to fix this, but it doesn't appear in Failover Cluster Manager in Server 2012.
Instead, the only way I've found to fix the problem is in PowerShell.
Update-ClusterVirtualMachineConfiguration "put configuration name here in quotes"
You would think that this would be an important enough operation to include GUI support for it, possibly in the "More Actions" right-click action on the configuration file.

Network Name Resource Availability - failover cluster error 1196 on Hyper-V 2012 R2 nodes

Hello,
We're getting this error in our even logs of our four node failover cluster, we tried deleting Host A record in DNS management, that did nothing.
Failover cluster event: 1196
"Cluster network name resource 'CAUCrgt8' failed registration of one or more associated DNS name(s) for the following reason: This operation returned because the timeout period expired.
Ensure that the network adapters associated with dependent IP address resources are configured with at least one accessible DNS server."
And this resource http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773529%28v=WS.10%29.aspx did not help in solving this.
Do you guys have any other suggestions we could try to resolve this error?

Hi Jonas,
Please offer us which platform server you are using, such as if you are using server 2012 please refer the following update first.

IP Resource Errors While Building a Windows Failover Cluster on Azure

I have setup a failover cluster in Microsoft Azure on four VMs. I have two nodes in one subnet/region, one node in another subnet/region and a final node in a third subnet/region. The cluster passed the validation wizard and was successfully built, but the
two nodes in other subnets will not go online, reporting "Failed to bring the resource 'IP Address x.x.x.x' online".
Azure Vnet Setup
Vnet 1 - South Central US - 10.16.16.0/16 - Nodes 1 & 2 - Online
Vnet 2 - West US - 10.116.16.0/16 - Node 3 - Offline
Vnet 3 - East US - 10.216.16.0/16 - Node 4 - Offline
All three IP Address resources are DHCP. I've attempted to make them static but they still failed while coming online. If I click "Information Details" on the error I get:
Error code: 0x80071397
The operation failed because either the specified cluster node is not the owner of the resource, or the node is not a possible owner of the resource.
It seems to be an issue with the way Azure DHCP works, but I'm stalled. There must be a way to get his working. What am I missing?

Hi Michael Lapidakis,
Starting in Windows Server 2008, a feature called an “OR dependency” was added to Failover Clustering which gave admins the ability to have nodes with a Network Name that
could use one IP Address OR another IP Address .In a multisite cluster, it is expected that 1 IP address is offline as it is an OR relationship.
You can refer the following related article to realize more detail settings of multi-site site cluster IP settings.

Create failover cluster to host Windows 2012 DC, Exchange 2013 and SQL as VMs

One of our clients has running Windows Essential 2012, SQL and exchange 2007 as VM on VMware for 4 years without major issue. However, the physical server is getting old and have some hardware issues recently. They have budgets to buy two Dell servers, EqualLogic
SAN, Windows server 2012 Datacenter and Exchange 2013. Is it possible for them to create failover cluster to host Windows 2012 DC, Exchange 2013 and SQL as VMs?

Ghost VM resources under failover cluster manager roles

Hello, everyone,
I had a Windows 2012 R2 hyper-v host with few VMs running on it. I deployed a second host, and using SC VMM created a failover cluster. Also I added a shared cluster volume and migrated all VMs to the shared storage using SC VMM console. In
the process I also checked the checkbox to make the VM highly available. Everithyng worked fine.
Now when I look in to Failover Cluster Manager console I see some "ghost" vm roles. Their names are correspondend to the names of the running VMs, which I also can see in the console. For example I have vm HDCADC01, there is another
role in the console "SCVMM HDCADC01 Resources", the status is off, settings are empty.
Does anyone knows what are these resources? Is it somekind of glitch during the migration? Is it safe to remove them?
Thank you,
Jamal.

Where should I run this command?
On my VMM server Update-clustervirtualmachineconfiguration command complains that The cluster services is not running.
On the one of hyper-v server, cluster nodes, "get-vm -name hdcadc01" returns "Get-VM : A parameter is invalid. Hyper-V was unable to find a virtual machine with name hdcadc01". The same result is when I used "ghost" resources name.
