Microsoft update KB 3002657 and 2008 R2 failover cluster for virtualization

After installing Microsoft update KB 3002657 on my Windows 2008 R2 failover cluster for virtualization, nodes in cluster lost connection to CSV and all my VM's were moved to node owning the volume.
I lost whole day to solve that problem.
But should i keep that update not installed on cluster nodes or anyone maybe has a solution for that ?

Hi a3pl,
Unfortunately, the available information is not enough to have a clear view of the occurred behavior from the cluster perspective. Please offer us
more information such as the failover cluster validation error, the failover error event ID, with the current information it is difficult to presume which part may cause this issue, we strongly suggest you install the following update when you use failover
cluster.

Server 2008 R2 failover cluster for DFS servers

A new client currently has a couple Server 2008 R2 failover clusters (one at each of their two primary sites) as their two hub DFS locations. I'm confused, and can't see much of a reason for this implementation, which only seems to introduce added complexity
with no real benefits. Here are my reasons:
- At each site, the servers in the failover clusters are on the same server VM farms, hosted on the same SAN's.
- The data hosted on each node of the clusters are not identical. For example, server1 has 25 DFS replicated folders and server2 has 20 replicated folders. In fact, the ~25 folders on server1 are all named <site>-user, and the ~20 folders on server
2 are <site>-data. There appears to be no crossover.
So if the SAN fails, they're screwed. If the VM host fails, they're screwed. Why not just have two DFS servers at each site for redundancy within each site, and replicating with other site DFS servers as needed? I'm not super strong with failover clustering
at all though, so I may easily be missing something.

Hi Steve,
From the description, as you said it seems create more factors which may cause a failure.
Using DFS on cluster could eliminate the possible of a single failing VM. However if the VM host is down, which will still leads to a failure. So actually the risk is still them same as just creating DFS namespace on these 2 VM hosts or any other file server.

How to install a database on a MS Windows 2008 R2 failover cluster?

Hello,
I have to install a Oracle 11g R2 database onto a MS cluster (Windows Server 2008 R2 Failover Cluster with 2 nodes and shared storage). I installed the DBMS on both nodes. On the first node, I created a tablespace, the files are on the shared storage. I can connect to that database, up to here everything is fine.
But the problem is: How do I have to configure the DBMS on the second node to use the existing database files in the case when the second node gets the Cluster IP and the shared storage? The switchover is done, all database files (in the filesystem) can be seen on the second node.
The goal is to connect to the database from an external application, regardless which node is active.
I know the "Oracle Fail Safe Manager", it is already installed on both nodes.
A link to the related documentation would be helpful, I can't find anything.
Best regards,
C. Jost

Hello,
But the problem is: How do I have to configure the DBMS on the second node to use the existing database files in the case when the second node gets the >Cluster IP and the shared storage? The switchover is done, all database files (in the filesystem) can be seen on the second node.When you switch the database from one node to another one do you have any error ?
Can you connect to the database and check for the Tablespaces ?
Normally, with OFS you define Groups. In one Group you'll have the Database, the Disk, the IP address and the Listener. So when you move the Group from one node to another one, the disk will be recognized on the second node then, the database, listener, ... will start and, there's no reason to loose a datafile.
Please, find enclosed, an introduction to Oracle Fail Safe concept:

Redirect print server webpage in a 2008 R2 Failover Cluster.

I am configuring a 2 node 2008 R2 Failover Cluster with print services as a resource. On a client, i can install a printer by going to the website http://virtualprintserver.domain/printers/, selecting a printer and click on connect.
To prevent showing the default IIS page, i want to redirect http://virtualprintserver.domain to http://virtualprintserver.domain/printers/.
How can i achieve this? I have searched in IIS manager, but could not find anything.
Thank you for your help.

Solved!
After consulting a colleague with web design knowledge we came up with the following solution:
Go to %SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot\
Rename iisstart.htm in iisstart.htm.old
Create a new index.htm file with the code: <html><head><title></title><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://virtualprintserver.domain/printers" /></head><body></body></html>

MS DTC not coming online on SQL Server 2008 R2 failover cluster

Dear Experts,
On a SQL Server 2008 R2 failover cluster, MS DTC cluster service is not coming online. It fails with below error message.
"The DTC cluster resource's log file path was originally configured at: E:. Attempting to change that to: M:. This indicates a change in the path of the DTC cluster resource's dependent disk resource. This is not supported. The error code
returned: 0x8000FFFF".
From the Component Services, we can see under the clustered DTCs, in the properties of the log file that it is configured for E drive. The 'Transaction list' and 'Transaction Statistics' are empty. When I try to change the log file path to
point to M drive I get this warning message.
"An MSDTC log file already exists in the selected directory. Resetting an existing MS DTC log file may cause your databases and other transactional resource managers to become inconistent. Please review the MSDTC Administrator's manual before
proceeding. Do you wish to reset the existing MS DTC log"
Could you please advise if this is safe to proceed with this warning as the 'Transaction list' and 'Transaction Statistics' are empty or would it cause any other issue.
Thanks,
MM

I don't understand why this keeps happening and it's been going on for a wile now. I have tried over and over again to get this iPhone to work but nothig is happening. I've even gone on the website for support (apple.com/support) but cannot find anything that will help me with this situation. Can someone please help me find a solution to this problem? I have been without a phone and do not have money to buy another one and it is crucial for me to get it fixed. Thanks.

What computer operating system is involved in the Premiere Elements 11 and 13 issues? Same computer or different ones? Are you installing from purchased download installation files or from purchased installation disc? Does Premiere Elements 11 work completely on this computer whereas 13 will not?
Let us go through the typical drill so as to take nothing for granted.
1. Does the problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working with an individual home computer or in a
school or company network?
2. Are you running the program as Administrator and is there any "domain" account involved?
3. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on the computer with Premiere Elements?
Let us start by ruling in or out any of the above, and then we can decide what next.
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

Games and media are forever tied to the AppleID used to download them.
Either log in under the old ID to update Candy Crush or delete the game and

Windows 2008 R2 Failover Cluster - Netapp FAS6280 Black Screen on Restart when in cluster IGROUP

Hello everyone,
I've been working on this issue for a month now and have tickets open with Netapp and Microsoft. We have not been able to resolve the issue as of yet and since I'm losing all my hair I thought I should post it...
Scenario:
Two Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise SP Fail-Over Clusters (C1 & C2)
Two Netapp FAS6280 Filers for SAN storage
8 DELL R815 servers w/ 2x QLE2562 8GB FC HBAs all paths used (9.1.9.47 - newer did not resolve)
Netapp DSM 4.0 & SnapManager 6.4.2 (we also tried 1 rev newer, 1 rev older without luck)
C1 has 2 nodes & C2 has 4 nodes.
We are trying to add new nodes into the clusters. We were originally on EMC Clariion arrays and have been migrated to the netapp. Prior to moving we had 3 nodes in C2 and added node 4.
Now we want to add 2 more nodes, one to each cluster. We were able to configure the OS and get everything installed and matching the other nodes. we can assign HBAs to a test IGROUP and assign a lun, format it use it restart all is well and normal.
As soon as we change the HBAs to the IGROUP for C1 or C2's LUNs the servers don't want to restart properly. They hang at a black screen. The little green windows start splash screen runs the bar at the bottom. it then is supposed to fade
out and come back with the grey screen saying starting windows but that doesn't always happen. Sometimes it can take 4 hours to restart, or the machine will not come back onine at all. The pre-existing nodes *do not* experience this issue.
They restart in 5-10 minutes without issue.
We know drivers are part of the issue, but the maddening part is that it all works fine until we try to add the HBAs to the existing cluster storage group. We have a suggestion to create separate IGROUPs for each cluster node and add all luns to the
separate igroups. We configured this on one node and it still restarts long. We plan to modify the other nodes during our maintenance window and try again.
On the other cluster we were able to successfully complete the validate wizard and join. everything fails over and works except the server does not come up upon restart. If I unplug the HBAs it will come up fine, then I can plug them in and the
cluster functions.
Does anyone have any other ideas for us to try? Currently support for both netapp and Microsoft appear stumped. Sunday is our Window and we plan to try reconfiguring but I'm losing optimism...
Thanks for any feedback/ideas!
-Ryan

Thanks everyone who looked at this and offered feedback.
The issue appears to be resolved after the configuration change suggested by Netapp support.
The originally recommended configuration for our storage migration was similar to how I've seen storage groups configured on EMC arrays in the past. 1 storage group / igroup with all hbas/initiators for each host in the WFC/SQL cluster added to this
group. that group then gets all LUNs assigned to it.
The change in configuration that was recommended is to have 1 storage group / igroup for each host and put all initiators/hbas for each host in their own separate group. Then assign the all LUNs to each of the individual host igroups.
There is a lack of documentation on this, but it appears to work. We had 1 hit for separate igroups but had to go through a couple of support techs to get one to confirm this.
After applying this configuration in our change window today the issue is resolved. we were able to fail all resources onto the new node and restart it without issue. The question remaining for us is why the old systems continued to work while
the new nodes did not. The old nodes were originally migrated off an EMC and the version of ONTapp at that time was 8.1.2 and they worked fine.
We had upgraded to 8.1.3 to resolve an issue with flash cache and it seems like machines that we tried to attach to this igroup after that time did not work. all drivers software etc the same. We are wondering if this is somehow related and have
asked about it.
I wanted to update this thread, and perhaps it can save someone else some trouble down the line.

How to test node failover in Windows 2008 R2 Failover Cluster?

Can anyone give me advice on how to properly test a node failure with a 2 mode Failover Cluster in Windows 2008 R2?

To test the failover of a clustered service or application
In the Failover Cluster Manager snap-in, if the cluster that you want to configure is not displayed, in the console tree, right-click
Failover Cluster Manager, click Manage a Cluster, and then select or specify the cluster that you want.
If the console tree is collapsed, expand the tree under the cluster that you want to configure.
Expand Services and Applications, and then click the service or application for which you want to test failover.
Under Actions (on the right), click Move this service or application to another node.
As the service or application moves, the status is displayed in the results pane (center pane).
Optionally, repeat step 4 to move the service or application to an additional node or back to the original node.

SQl 2008 R2 Failover Cluster does not failover after fresh install

I have installed a two node SQL Server 2008 R2 cluster. I used a Named Instance and the SQL Server and SQL Server Agent cluster resources are online on node 1. When I want to move the SQL Server group to node 2, the SQL Server resource fails to start (error
1205 and 1069).
I see in the application log that it is starting up database 'master'. After that I see: Cannot recover the master database. SQL Server is unable to run. Restore master from a full backup etc...
It runs fine on node 1, so what goes wrong?

Hello,
Please verify DTC is configured correctly.

MS- WIN SERVER 2008-R2 FAILOVER CLUSTER --ERROR 1127 ,1583

DEARS ,
I HAVE BEEN FACING PROBLEM FOR MY WINDOWS FAIL OVER CLUSTER SCENARIO.
THE ERROR CODES ARE 1127 AND 1583 WHICH ARE STATING THAT
All nodes IPv4 networks should be configured properly.
Nodes which are using Automatic Private IP Address (APIPA) for adapter Cluster.will not be added to the Windows Failover Cluster. If the adapter is to be used by Windows Failover Cluster, the IPv4 properties of the adapter should be changed to allow assignment
of a valid IP address that is not in the APIPA range.
However , I have checked that all of my NIC adapters have valid Static IP addresses. Also , when one of the nodes is down ,it cannot look for another node.
Please advise for the solution.

Hi,
Could you clarify your described “Nodes which are using Automatic Private IP Address (APIPA) for adapter Cluster.will not be added to the Windows Failover Cluster.” Did you
found one of your cluster node “automatically” have the APIPA address? If so, it seems is the IP conflict issue.
If it is not the IP address conflict issue, please try to disable your all the nodes firewall
or AV soft have the event 1583 typically cause by this function incorrect configured.

Server 2008 R2 Failover cluster network configuration

Hi
We have a customer with a Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V failover cluster. They have 2 cluster networks, "Cluster Network 1" and "Cluster Network 2".
"Cluster Network 1": NIC team on 172.16.1.0/24 for private cluster network communication
"Cluster Network 2": NIC team on 192.168.1.0/24 for production network communication
I can see that "Cluster Network 1" is configured to "Allow cluster network communication on this network" and "Allow clients to connect through this network".
If "Cluster Network 1" is ONLY for communication between the to cluster nodes then I assume the selection in "Allow clients to connect through this network" should be removed?
/Lasse

It will cause a lost network connection for any client that is accessing through that network. Those clients would need to reconnect.
Did you configure both IPs on the cluster resource name that clients are accessing? If you only configured the one you want, there should be no issue. If you configured both, then it is possible some clients might be connected via the private
network.
Another thing you should, and if you have already done this you will most likely not have issues at all, is that you should disable DNS registration on any network you do not want client access coming through. If the clients can only find the resource
through the DNS name registered, that is the way they will be coming in. In my clusters, which often have 7 or more NICs, there is only one with a published DNS record.
