Microsoft failover cluster virtual adapter IP Address

Hi,
Please let me know how we can change the IP Address of Microsoft failover cluster virtual adapter in Windows 2012 R2.
Regards,
Hakim. B

Microsoft Failover Cluster Virtual Adapter

I have read the following blog about Microsoft Failover Cluster Virtual Adapter and have few questions.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2009/02/13/what-is-a-microsoft-failover-cluster-virtual-adapter-anyway.asp
How does this adapter choose the IP address? It seems that it is using 169.254 subnet address.
Can the IP address changed? If yes, how to change it in Windows 2008 R2?
What tool is used to show the kernel drivers? The blog shows a screenshot below the sentence The Cluster network driver (netft.sys) is a kernel mode driver and is started and stopped by the Cluster
Service.
If the physical NIC which has the same MAC address of the adapter is disabled, will that cause problem?
Thanks.

Hi PCSQL66,
Firstly, NetFT self-configures an APIPA adres and no manuel user config requireds. Then MAC adress is self-generated based on a hash of MAC address of the first enumerated (by NDIS) physical NIC in the clsuter node. You know Netft is a virtual network adapter.
And you cannot change it and you dont need to change.
You are right about MAC address conflict but mac address conflict detection and rersolution in Win2012.
I think what you want to see about kernel mode drivers or user mode etc you can use the sysinternal utility.
I want to say NDIS 6.2 is miniport virtual adaptor.

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

In windows2012, IIS is not able to configure in Microsoft Failover Cluster

Hello All
I configured IIS under Microsoft Failover Cluster with the help of below link. The setup is working successful. I configured this on Windows2008.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/970759/en-us
I verified below as test cases.
1.) I kill PID of W3SVC , the failover executed.
2.) I stopped the Default Web Site, the failover executed.
3.) I stopped the Default Application Pool, the failover executed.
4.) I stopped the other Application Pools, the failover executed(after changing the script under above mentioned link).
PLEASE NOTE: I used the following links to configure the setup on Windows2008 and Windows2012
http://zahidhaseeb.wordpress.com/2014/02/12/how-to-configure-iis-web-site-and-application-pool-in-microsoft-failover-cluster/
But, when I create the same environment under Windows2012, see what happen below.
I verified below as test cases.
1.) I kill PID of W3SVC , the failover executed.
2.) I stopped the Default Web Site, the failover executed.
3.) I stopped the Default Application Pool, the failover executed.
4.) I stopped the other Application Pools, the failover is not executed(after changing the script under above mentioned link).
Any comment will be appreciated. Thanks. Zahid Haseeb.

Hi,
As the KB mentioned, Microsoft recommends administrators carefully evaluate the use of Network Load Balancing (NLB) as the primary and preferred method for improving the scalability and availability of Web applications with multiple servers running IIS 7.5
or IIS 7.0, as opposed to using failover clustering.
It is important to consider that clustering IIS by means of clustering the IIS services does not always guarantee a high availability solution for Web applications.
While the IIS services (specifically the WWW service) might be up and running, a specific application pool’s hosting process could have terminated, or the application might be throwing internal server HTTP errors. Clustering the Web applications and
monitoring their health by using a custom script is the correct and recommended way to achieve a high availability IIS cluster using failover clustering. Below is a sample script that monitors the state of an application pool to determine if it is started
or not.
That’s more about the IIS issue, maybe you can ask more detail question in IIS forum.

SAP Microsoft failover cluster

Hello,
I have Installed NW 7.31 Microsoft Failover cluster for one of my production System.I want to test the Backup & Recovery for this system.
Kindly provide me with certain Information or Document to test the Backup Scenario & thus Restoring it.
Thanks,
Nimish

Hi Deepak,
Thanks for the Reply
I am able to take Backup in Failover cluster through BRTOOLS Functionality but while restoring, it gives an error "Executionf BRRECOVER Finished with return code 5".
1. While restoring , I have to shutdown the Services.
2. While the services are shutdown, shared drives shift to other Nodes which conatins the Backup taken through brtools.
3. Therefore while restoring ,I dont have the particular path where the files has to be restored.
Pl. provide some Input for Restore Issue
Thanks,

Hyper-V Failover Cluster virtual guests suddenly reboots

The environment is Server 2012 R2 using dual clusters--a Hyper-V Failover Cluster running guest application virtual machines and a Scale-Out File Server Cluster using Tiered Storage Spaces which are used to supply SMB3 shares
for Quorum and CSV. Has anyone had this problem?

Anything relevant in the host or guest event logs? I would also check the cluster event logs to see if there are any indications there as well.
Does the guest go down hard or gracefully reboot?
Need more info.

Microsoft Failover Cluster (HA)

Hey Guys,
Let me a quick question:- Please read my concern and share your thoughts.
Q. I have one HA in my environment and HA runs as Active Passive. Suppose I make it offline primary
server but HA is not moving another node.
What should be cause ?
Ram Prakash Sharma

Hi Ram Prakash Sharma,
If your cluster can pass all the validation settings please first check whether you have configure the preferred node correctly, you can refer the following article to realize
how to setting the preferred owner.

Failover cluster failed due to mysterious IP conflict ?

I'm having a mysterious problem with my Failover cluster,
Cluster name: PrintCluster01.domain.com
Members: PrintServer01.domain.com andPrintServer02.domain.com
in the Failover Cluster Management – Cluster Event I received the Critical error message 1135 and 1177:

Description:
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.

After further investigation, I found some interesting error here, from the very first critical error message logged in the Event viewer on PrintServer02:

192.168.127.142 --> secondary IP of PrintServer01
how could that be possible it conflict by one of the PrintServer01 node ? the detailed is as below:

I
am facing the same scenario as the original poster. This is on Server 2008 R2 SP1.
WIndow event log entries follow the same pattern. The MAC address listed in connection with the duplicate IP belonged to the passive node.
Interestingly, the Cluster.log begins to explode with activity a few milliseconds before the first Windows event is logged.

My exchange DAG with 2 nodes. noticing this weird IP address 169.254.1.97 (MS failover Cluster Adapter) on both nodes when I run IPCONFIG/all.
Time to time I see this address in the msg headers too. I can ping this address from either nodes but cannot ping from the lan. I am not sure where is this coming from ….. Any !deaz.

Hi,
Download nvspbind from MSDN Gallery and change the bindings order.
"The Microsoft Failover Cluster Virtual Adapter" should be moved down in the list.

Inexplainable 2008 Failover Cluster Issues

Hi,
We have a 2008 Failover Node & Disk Majority SQL 2005 cluster.
There are 2 nodes in the cluster with 2008 Ent 64-bit SP2 installed.
At around 00:20 each morning we see various FailoverClustering errors in the event logs on both servers.
EventID: 1135, 1069, 1177
Before the FailoverClustering events are seen, 2 informational events appear regarding the 'Microsoft Failover Clustering Virtual Adapater'
EventID: 4201 'The system detected that network adapter Local Area Connection* 9 was connected to the network, and has initiated normal operation.'
This is causing the resources to failover to the secondary node.
I have run the Cluster Validation Wizard and everything passes. I have disabled the Windows Firewall service on both nodes.
We are presenting the storage via NetApp and the nodes have 3 nics installed
NIC1 - Server Vlan - Speed/Duplex Set to 1000Mb Full
NIC2 - Storage Vlan - Speed/Duplex Set to 1000Mb Full
NIC3 - Heartbeat - Speed/Duplex Set to 100Mb Full
Please can anyone help me troubleshoot these issues ?
Thanks
Scott

Gentoo Linux and Microsoft Failover Clusters / Hyper-V

Hello,
Hoping there are a few people on the boards familiar with running Gentoo Linux guests under Microsoft FailOver Cluster / Hyper-V hosts.
I have four Gentoo Linux guest VMs (running kernel 3.12.21-r1) running under the Microsoft Failover Cluster system with Hyper-V as the host. All of the Hyper-V drivers are built into the kernel (including the utilities and balloon drivers) and generally they
run without issue.
For several months now, however, I have been having strange issues with them. Essentially they stop responding to network requests after random intervals. However, these intervals aren't a few minutes or hours from each other; more like days or even weeks before
one of them will stop responding on the network side.
The funny thing is that the VMs themselves on the console side still responds. However, if I issue a reboot command on the externally non-responsive VM, the system will eventually get to a stage where all of the services are stopped and then hangs right after
the "mounting remaining system ro" line (or something like that).
The Failover Cluster Manager then reports that the system is "Stopping" but the system never reboots.
I have to completely restart the HOST system so that either (A) the VM in question transfers to another host and starts responding again or (B) when the HOST comes back up I can work with the VM again.
This *ONLY* happens on the Gentoo Linux guest VMs and not my Windows VMs.
Wondering if anyone has hints on this.
Thank you for your time.
Regards, Christopher K.

Hi ckoeber,
Hyper-V has support most of Linux distribution but not all because it’s have so many distribution, until now the Gentoo Linux not in the support list, you can refer the following
KB to know more about the detail:

Hope this helps.

Hyper-V Failover Cluster Live migration over Virtual Adapter

Hello,
Currently we have a test environment 3 HyperHost wich have 2 Nic teams. LAN team and team Live/Mngt.
In Hyper-V we created a Virtual Switch (Wich is Nic team Live/Mngt)
We want to seperate the Mngt and live with Vlans. To do this we created 2 virtual adapters. Mngt and Live, assigned ip adresses and 2 vlans(Mngt 10, Live 20)
Now here is our problem: In Failover cluster you cannot select the Virtual Adapter(live). Only the Virtual Switch wich both are on. Meaning live migration simple uses the vSwitch instead of the Virtual adapter.
Either its not possible to seperate Live migration with a Vlan this way or maybe there are Powershell commands to add Live migration to a Virtual adapter?
Greetings Selmer

It can be done in PowerShell but it's not intuitive.
In Failover Cluster Manager, right-click Networks and you'll find this:
Click Live Migration Settings and you'll find this:
Checked networks are allowed to carry traffic. Networks higher in the list are preferred.

Changing Hyper-V host and cluster virtual IP addresses to new subnet/VLAN

I have a 2 node Hyper-V 2012 R2 failover cluster, managed by System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2, and I would like to change the IP addresses of the hosts and the cluster, in order to move them to a new subnet and VLAN. The existing and new subnets
are able to route to each other so all hosts will still be able to communicate throughout the parts of the process where they may be on separate subnets. There is also a dedicated cluster heartbeat network on its own subnet and VLAN that I am not altering
in any way.
The 2 hosts are configured with 4 nics in a team, with dedicated virtual interfaces for each of the following:
-Live Migration
-Cluster Heartbeating
-Host management/general traffic (the cluster virtual IP address is also on the same subnet as these interfaces).
It is the host management/general traffic addresses that I want to change. The interfaces were created and configured with the Add-VMNetworkAdapter, New-NetIPAddres and Set-VMNetworkAdapterVlan commands.
Please advise if the following process is correct:
1) Evacuate all the VMs from the first host to be changed and put it in maintenance mode.
2) Use Set-VMNetworkAdapter to change the name of the interface (the current name refers to the VLAN it's on)
3) Use Set-NetIPAddress to change the IP address and gateway of the interface as appropriate
4) Use Set-VMNetworkAdapterVlan to set the VLAN ID
5) Take the host out of maintenance mode and move all VMs off the other host
6) Repeat above steps on the other host
I know that I will then need to change the cluster virtual IP address, but I have no idea how to do this or where to look for that setting. Please advise!
Cheers.

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.

Virtual Domain Controllers in 2012 Failover Cluster. Time Skew

Hi All,
Not sure if this is the correct space for this topic, however i'll give it a go anyway.
We have a 2 Hosts (HP DL385) Windows Server 2012 Failover Cluster.
Storage is provided by a 12 Bay NAS with iSCSI connections (This is catering for CSV's and Quorum)
We are running 2 Virtual domain controllers (2008R2)
The issue we experience is that if the cluster goes down, and when it comes back online the time on the domain controllers (one or the other or both) skews by any where up to 3 days which causes havoc for our office until we can resync clocks with the PDCe.
Time Synchronisation Integration Service is disabled on both Domain Contollers
A few days back we need to reboot the storage on the cluster, and the tasks performed were as follows:
-Power off all virtual machines (Graceful Shutdown)
-Put all CSV's into maintenance mode
-Offline Disk Witness to Quorum
-Rebooted Storage (Waited until it came back online)
-Online Quorum Storage (Successful)
-Bring CSV's out of maintenance mode (Successful & Browsable)
-Power on all Virtual Machines (Successful)
This is where the time Skewed and caused headaches. The time for some reason went to 2 days 11hrs in the past on 1 domain controller.
With this DNS lookups failed to work, Cluster services failed, Cluster Aware Updating Failed, RDP to VM's (and Virtual Hosts) by DNS Name failed (Date time error)
There doesn't seem to be anything in the EventLog except for date/time stamp on events being 2 days in the past.
Now this is why i'm not sure if the issue is cause by fail over clustering, or is an issue with the domain controllers.
Any advice regarding this or if anyone has seen this behaviour before any info would be great
Thanks
Rob

Hi Rob,
Does both this two DCs on your cluster VM and there have not others DCs? Microsoft recommends that files for virtualized domain controllers be placed on non-CSV
disks, Non-CSV disks can be brought online without authentication. Because non-CSV disks can be brought online more easily.
For virtual machines that are configured as domain controllers, it is recommended that you disable time synchronization between the host system and guest operating
system acting as a domain controller. This enables your guest domain controller to synchronize time from the domain hierarchy, please confirm your PDC time is always correct.
