FMS 3.5 on Windows Server cluster?

Is FMS 3.5 supported on a Windows 2003 (or better yet Windows 2008) server fail-over cluster?
Thinking it would be nice to have an origin server clustered so no single point of failure can occur. Any thoughts?

yes =) windows and linux

Policy NAT 8.6(1)2 Windows Server Cluster

We have 2 email servers in a cluster on the network. I have the cluster IP address configured for Object static NAT. This works great for email coming into our organization. However, when either of these 2 email servers send mail, they send using their configured IP address which is different from the cluster IP address. Thus, the NAT'd address is different than for incoming. It hasn't been an issue to this point, but I would like to be able to send SMTP from either server and have it NAT to the same IP used for the cluster IP. This way, any reverse DNS lookups on the internet would show a consistent IP to name mapping for our mail servers. I've attached a diagram. If there is a way to force the cluster servers to use the cluster address on the Windows server side, that could be an option as well.
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi,
The actual NAT configuration used depends on how your Dynamic PAT rule for all the users of the network is configured at the moment. Mainly is it Auto NAT or Manual NAT.
Though naturally I can give you an example that includes both Dynamic PAT for all users and Dynamic PAT for the Mail servers and the Static NAT for incoming mail.
MAIL SERVER STATIC NAT
object network MAIL-SERVER
host 10.0.0.1
nat (inside,outside) static 10.10.10.140
The above configuration is the basic Static NAT configuration for a host using Auto NAT / Network Object NAT. It could be done with Manual NAT / Twice NAT also but I prefer Auto NAT / Network Object NAT
MAIL SERVER DYNAMIC PAT
object-group network MAIL-PAT-SOURCE
network-object host 10.0.0.1
network-object host 10.0.0.2
network-object host 10.0.0.3
object network MAIL-SERVER-PUBLIC
host 10.10.10.140
nat (inside,outside) after-auto source dynamic MAIL-PAT-SOURCE MAIL-SERVER-PUBLIC
The above is a normal Dynamic PAT configuration (no Policy elements involved).
The key thing to notice here is that we are entering this to the ASA before the next Dynamic PAT that catches all the rest of the source IP address. One thing to notice also is that its a Section 3 NAT rule (the lowest priority) so that it wont override any other NAT rules like the above Static NAT.
I you had your existing Dynamic PAT for all users already with a similiar configuration than last configuration example then you would have to add a line number to the NAT configuration like this
nat (inside,outside) after-auto 1 source dynamic MAIL-PAT-SOURCE MAIL-SERVER-PUBLIC
DEFAULT DYNAMIC PAT FOR USERS
nat (inside,outside) after-auto source dynamic any interface
The above is just an Dynamic PAT configuration that catches all source addresses from behind the "inside" interface and does Dynamic PAT for them when connecting to networks behind "outside". As this is inserted to the configuration after the above command it will be at a lower priority and wont apply for the 3 source hosts we specified above.
I wonder if I made this out to be more complicated than it needs to be
I guess the easiest way to determine the configuration you will need/want would be to see the current NAT configuration on the ASA
Hope this helps

[SOLVED] Can't add a node to the cluster with error (Exchange 2010 SP3 DAG Windows Server 2012)

Hi there!
I have a problem which makes me very angry already :)
I have two servers Exchange 2010 SP3 with MB role started on Windows Server 2012. I decided to create a DAG.
I have created the prestaged AD object for the cluster called msc-co-exc-01c, assigned necessary permissions and disabled it. Allowed through the Windows Firewall traffic between nodes and prepared the File Share Witness server.
Then I have tried to add nodes. The first node has been added successfully, but the second node doesn't want to be added :). Now I can add only one node to the DAG. I tried to add different servers first, but only the first one was added.
LOGS on the second nodes:
Application Log

UPD:
when Exchange servers ran on the same Hyper-V node, the DAG is working well, but if I move one of VM to another node, It stops working.
I have installed Wireshark and captured trafic of cluster interface. When DAG members on the same HV-node, there is inbound and outbound traffic on the cluster interface, but if I move one of DAG member to another node, in Wireshark I see only outbound traffic
on both nodes.
It's confused me, because there is normal connectivity between these DAG members through the main interface.
Please, help me if you can.

Hi, Jared! Thank you for the reply.
Of course I did it already :) I have new info:

Windows Server 2012 - Hyper-V - Cluster Sharded Storage - VHDX unexpectedly gets copied to System Volume Information by "System", Virtual Machines stops respondig

We have a problem with one of our deployments of Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V with a 2 node cluster connected to a iSCSI SAN.
Our setup:
Hosts - Both run Windows Server 2012 Standard and are clustered.
HP ProLiant G7, 24 GB RAM. This is the primary host and normaly all VMs run on this host.
HP ProLiant G5, 20 GB RAM. This is the secondary host that and is intended to be used in case of failure of the primary host.
We have no antivirus on the hosts and the scheduled ShadowCopy (previous version of files) is switched off.
iSCSI SAN:
QNAP NAS TS-869 Pro, 8 INTEL SSDSA2CW160G3 160 GB i a RAID 5 with a Host Spare. 2 Teamed NIC.
Switch:
DLINK DGS-1210-16 - Both the network cards of the Hosts that are dedicated to the Storage and the Storage itself are connected to the same switch and nothing else is connected to this switch.
Virtual Machines:
3 Windows Server 2012 Standard - 1 DC, 1 FileServer, 1 Application Server.
1 Windows Server 2008 Standard Exchange Server.
All VMs are using dynamic disks (as recommended by Microsoft).
Updates
We have applied the most resent updates to the Hosts, VMs and iSCSI SAN about 3 weeks ago with no change in our problem and we continually update the setup.
Normal operation:
Normally this setup works just fine and we see no real difference in speed in startup, file copy and processing speed in LoB applications of this setup compared to a single host with two 10000 RPM Disks. Normal network speed is 10-200 Mbit, but occasionally
we see speeds up to 400 Mbit/s of combined read/write for instance during file repair.
Our Problem:
Our problem is that for some reason a random VHDX gets copied to System Volume Information by "System" of the Clusterd Shared Storage (i.e. C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\System Volume Information).
All VMs stops responding or responds very slowly during this copy process and you can for instance not send CTRL-ALT-DEL to a VM in the Hyper-V console, or for instance start task manager when already logged in.
This happens at random and not every day and different VHDX files from different VMs gets copied each time. Some time it happens during daytime wich causes a lot of problems, especially when a 200 GB file gets copied (which take a lot of time).
What it is not:
We thought that this was connected to the backup, but the backup had finished 3 hours before the last time this happended and the backup never uses any of the files in System Volume Information so it is not the backup.
An observation:
When this happend today I switched on ShadowCopy (previous files) and set it to only to use 320 MB of storage and then the Copy Process stopped and the virtual Machines started responding again. This could be unrelated since there is no way to see
how much of the VHDX that is left to be copied, so it might have been finished at the same time as I enabled ShadowCopy (previos files).
Our question:
Why is a VHDX copied to System Volume Information when scheduled ShadowCopy (previous version of files) is switched off? As far as I know, nothing should be copied to this folder when this functionis switched off?

Please note:
Please only answer our question and do not offer any general optimization tips that do not directly adress the issue! We want the problem to go away, not to finish a bit faster!

Hallo Lawrence!
Thankyou for youre reply, some comments to help you and others who read this thread:
First of all, we use Windows Server 2012 and the VHDX as I wrote in the headline and in the text in my post. We have not had this problem in similar setups with Windows Server 2008 R2, so the problem seem to be introduced in Windows Server 2012.
These posts that you refer to seem to be outdated and/or do not apply to our configuration:
The post about Dynamic Disks:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee941151(v=WS.10).aspx is only a recommendation for Windows Server 2008 R2 and the VHD format. Dynamic VHDX is indeed recommended by Microsoft when using Windows Server 2012 (please look in the optimization guide
for Windows Server 2012).
Infact, if we use fixed VHDX then we would have a bigger problem since fixed VHDX are generaly larger then Dynamic Disks, i.e. more data would be copied and that would take longer time = the VMs would be unresponsive for a longer time.
The post "What's the deal with the System Volume Information folder"
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2003/11/20/55764.aspx is for Windows XP / Windows Server 2003 and some things has changed since then. for instance In Windows Server 2012, Shadow Copies cannot be controlled by going to Control panel -> System.
Instead you right-click on a Drive (i.e. a Volume, for instance the C drive/Volume) in Computer and then click "Configure Shadow Copies".
Windows Server 2008 R2 Backup problem
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/windowsbackup/thread/0fc53adb-477d-425b-8c99-ad006e132336 - This post is about the Antivirus software trying to scan files used during backup that exists in the System Volume Information folder and we do not
have any antivirus software installed on our hosts as I stated in my post.
Comment that might help us:
So according to “System Volume Information” definition, the operation you mentioned is Volume Shadow Copy. Check event viewer to find Volume Shadow Copy related event logs and post them.
Why?
Furhter investigation suggests that a volume shadow copy is somehow created even though the Schedule for Shadows Copies is turned off for all drives. This happens at random and we have not found any pattern. Yesterday this operation took almost all available
disk space (over 200 GB), but all the disk space was released when I turned on scheduled Shadow Copies for the CSV.
I therefore draw these conclusions:
The CSV Volume has about 600 GB of disk space and since Volume Shadows Copy used 200 GB, or about 33% of the disk space, and the default limit is 10% then I conclude that for some reason the unscheduled Volume Shadow Copy did not have any limit (or ignored
the limit).
When I turned on the Schedule I also change the limit to the minimum amount which is 320 MB and this is probably what released the disk space. That is, the unscheduled Volume Shadow Copy operation was aborted and it adhered to the limit and deleted the
Volume Shadow Copy it had taken.
I have also set the limit for Volume Shadow Copies for all other volumes to 320 MB by using the "Configure Shadow Copies" Window that you open by right clicking on a drive (volume) in Computer and then selecting "Configure Shadow Copies...".
It is important to note that setting a limit for Shadow Copy Storage, and disabaling the Schedule are two different things! It is possible to have unlimited storage for Shadow Copies when the Schedule is disabled, however I do not know if this was the case
Before I enabled Shadow Copies on the CSV since I did not look for this.
I now have defined a limit for Shadow Copy Storage to 320 MB on all drives and then no VHDX should be copied to System Volume Information since they are all larger than 320 MB.
Does this sound about right or am I drawing the wrong conclusions?

There is something strange about the limits on the Secondary host!
I have not in any way changed the settings on the Secondary host and as you can see, the Secondary host has a maximum limit of only 35 MB storage on the CSV, but it also shows that this is 10% of the Volume. This is clearly not the case since 10% if 600
GB = 60 GB!
The question is, why does it by default set a too small limit (i.e. < 320 MB) on the CSV and is this the cause of the problem? I.e. is the limit ignored since it is smaller than the smallest amount you can provide using the GUI?
Is the default 35 MB maximum Shadow Copy limit a bug, or is there any logical reason for setting a limit that according to the GUI is too small?

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.

Install Oracle 10g on Windows 2003 Server cluster (MSCS)

Hi all
How do I install Oracle 10g on Windows 2000 cluster (MSCS installed)?
I have a 2-nodes Microsoft windows 2003 server cluster and I want to install Oracle 10g,
Do I folloow this order:
1. Install the software on both without the database
2. Create the database from the first node
in this case, The second node can see the database as it is available?,
and what about the IP adresses?
If you can point me to some documentation, or help in any way, I would appreciate it.
Thanks for any help.

Read here...

Oracle Fail Safe comprises multiple components: Oracle Fail Safe Manager, Oracle Services for MSCS, and server components specific to Oracle Fail Safe.

So I don't know how you can achieve this without Fail Safe.
There might be other link which I cannot find right now.

"Failed to connect to the service manager" when I try to add nodes to a cluster on Windows Server 2008 R2

Hello,
I get the following error message everytime I try to add a node to an existing cluster "Failed to connect to the service manager".
I'm running Windows Server 2008 R2,
Any ideas?

Hi saeedawadx,
Please run the cluster validation and post the error or warning information, in normal scenario the “Failed to connect to the service manager” issue often caused by the firewall
or AV soft block the others node connect, please try to disable the firewall and AV soft then try again.

Cluster Quorum Disk failing inside Guest cluster VMs in Hyper-V Cluster using Virtual Disk Sharing Windows Server 2012 R2

Hi, I'm having a problem in a VM Guest cluster using Windows Server 2012 R2 and virtual disk sharing enabled.
It's a SQL 2012 cluster, which has around 10 vhdx disks shared this way. all the VHDX files are inside LUNs on a SAN. These LUNs are presented to all clustered members of the Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V cluster, via Cluster Shared Volumes.
Yesterday happened a very strange problem, both the Quorum Disk and the DTC disks got the information completetly erased. The vhdx disks themselves where there, but the info inside was gone.
The SQL admin had to recreated both disks, but now we don't know if this issue was related to the virtualization platform or another event inside the cluster itself.
Right now I'm seen this errors on one of the VM Guest:

We don't know if this can happen again, what if this happens on disk with data?! We don't know if this is related to the virtual disk sharing technology or anything related to virtualization, but I'm asking here to find out if it is a possibility.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks.

The cluster resource could not be found-SAP ECC on Windows Server 2008 MSCS

Hi,
I'm installing SAP ECC 6.0 on Windows server 2008 MSCS Cluster. As mentioned in the guide, i've created a service and added a resource.
I was able to successfully configure the DB installation and cluster configuration. But when I start the ASCS installation, the installation fails when it tries to create system folders with the following error.
Error when sharing file system export (share) saploc : The cluster resource could not be found
I'm using a user with domain admin access and also a member of the local administrators group. I've even tried to install using the domain administrator user but still the problem exists.
Can anyone please let me know where am I going wrong ?
NB: The host on which I'm installing is not a domain controller but it is a member of a domain.
Regards,
Varadharajan M

Yes Krishna,
I've not created any shared folders manually and I've used the "Use domain of current user" option.
Actually SAPINST has created the usr and sap folder in the SAP drive (say E: drive) which is a clustered disk. The name of that clustered sidk is "Clustered Disk 1". I could able to open up the shared directories available in that SAP virtual host by issuing
<SAPGRP>. I don't know where am I going wrong:( I've also opened a call with a SAP and waiting for their reply.

Weblogic Server 6.1 with MS Windows 2000 Cluster

Hello everybody,
following situation:
We want to implement a Microsoft Cluster (Failover) with MS Cluster Service and
2 nodes (maybe later we try the Weblogic Software clustering with load balancing
as a part of an documentum and infotehna DMS). On both nodes we made the same
test installation of the Weblogic Server 6.1 and started it with services (instead
of cmd-file).
It's working fine seperate on every node, than we started to implement the MSCS
on these machines and only one node is working. On the other node (after a failover
to this node) the service started but break down only a few seconds later.
Now, my question is: Can we use the Weblogic Server 6.1 in an Windows 2000 Advanced
Server Failover Cluster with 2 nodes? Or do we need a special Add-on to do this???
Best regards,
Ronny

Ronny,
I'm don't know the specifics of MS Cluster Service but given that it works like
other common HA frameworks (assumption on my part) you may need to use the MS
cluster framework in isolation from the 'software-based' clustering approach that
WLS 6.x currently provides. For example, in other HA Frameworks there is typically
a heartbeat mechanism that informs the framework that a node is dead and the framework
in turn calls scripts that migrate the failed node 'applications' over to the
healthy node. In WLS, you could mimic the same approach where a single admin
server fails over to a backup server not using the WLS 'software' admin/mgd server
cluster value-add. In others words, you would need to script a heartbeat mechanism
for the single WLS server and also script failover to a backup node when the heartbeat
indicates 'failure'. This technique would be used in isolation (not using the
current WLS software-based cluster configuration).
My 2 cents,

How to Perform Forced Manual Failover of Availability Group (SQL Server) and WSFC (Windows Server Failover Cluster)

I have a scenario with the three nodes with server 2012 standard, each running an instance of SQL Server 2012 enterprise, participate in a
single Windows Server Failover Cluster (WSFC) that spans two data centers.
If the nodes in the primary data center are unavailable due to data center outage. Then how I can able to access node in the WSFC (Windows Server Failover Cluster) in the secondary disaster recovery data center automatically with some script.
I want to write script that can be able to check primary data center by pinging some IP after every 5 or 10 minutes.
If that IP is unable to respond then script can be able to Perform Forced Manual Failover of Availability Group (SQL Server) and WSFC (Windows Server Failover Cluster)
Can you please guide me for script writing for automatic failover in case of primary datacenter outage?

please post you question on failover clusters in the cluster forum. THey will explain how this works and point you at scipts.
You should also look in the Gallery for cluster management scripts.

You are trying to implement manually what should be happening automatically in the cluster. If the primary SQL Server becomes unavailable in the data center, it should fail over to the secondary SQL Server automatically. Is that not working?
You also might want to run this configuration by some SQL experts. I am not a SQL expert, but if you have both hosts in the data center in a cluster, there is no need for replication between those two nodes as they would be accessing
the database from some form of shared storage. Then it looks like you are trying to implement Always On to the DR site. I'm not sure you can mix both types of failover in a single configuration.
FYI, it would make more sense to establish a file share witness in your DR site instead of placing a third node in the data center for Node Majority quorum.

Oracle 10g R2 whitout RAC in a cluster hw (Windows Server 2008 cluster)

Hi,
Is this possible?
I ask it 'cause my customer wants to improve this solution.
I know that Oracle 10gR2 vs Windows Server 2008 is not supported and Oracle Standalone vs Hardware Cluster, neither too, but it's possible or will be a source of big problems?
Thanks in advance.
JRC.

Hi lain;
Please check Re: oracle10g on linux cluster
In my issue we were working on linux cluster. Our aim is
we have 3 server and they are linux cluster OS level. Let us call those server A,B and C... We want to make oracle10g works on server A and when server A is gone oracle10g on B server take place of A, if server B gone too, oracle10g on C server take place of B.... In each server we had different numver of database. I mean on machine a we have 3 database, on server B we have 4 database and on server C we have 7
What i do for this:
1. I install 10g database software only (not created database)
2. using netca and create listener for each database
3. using dbca and create database for each server.While on dbca wizard i gave SAN path for dbf
4. Linux admin arrange all other stuff(I mean when db1 on server A crash server B take responsibility of Server A and db1 keep working)
I hope it helps you
Regard
