Shared VHDX on CSV... Error opening handle for initiator The request is not supported.

Hi. Im having an issue in my lab testing out the shared vhdx functionality of 2012 R2.
The hardware is as follows2x HP DL380G5 with 2xHP P800 Smart Array controllers 2x500GB SATA SSD 2x1TB SATA HDD. Ive used Starwind to create 2 Cluster Shared Volumes on which my shared VHDX files are.
The issue im having is that after the creation of shared vhdx files (3-4 hours) any failover change in the vm configuration will result in Error opening handle for initiator. Initiator: {460b2b45-2f5a-485f-b045-60b68b655895}. Hostname: HYPERV1. File: \SQL QUORUM.VHDX:SHAREDVIRTUALDISK.
Error: The request is not supported..
Ive set the ISCSI sync adapters to "dont allow cluster and client communication" and prevented it being registered in dns (nslookup only shows one ip) yet every shared vhdx has this issue.
Can anyone suggest if this is a hardware issue or software ? It is such a timesaver compared to multipath io and iscsi on the guests id like to get it working.

Ok I figured out how to fix this issue, After searching the code online I found a post about someone trying to use this feature and getting the same error code with the vhds on the iscsi disks of a consumer nas which didn't support kerberos authentication.
Even though I had the cluster setup so the iscsi sync network was set to "do not allow cluster communication" and not used for live migration it was still trying to use this network for the shared vhdx.
The cause was the network binding order which had the iscsi nic above the server one. After putting the 10.0.0.x server adapter on top and rebooting no more messages appeared in the shared vhdx event log section and failover of the guest
clusters worked.
Hope this helps anyone else who has this problem.

  • Error in File UNKNOWN.RPT: The request could not be submitted for backgroun

    I receive: Error in File UNKNOWN.RPT: The request could not be submitted for background processing.
    The error is on a windows Server 2008 SP2 production server. The report generates fine if I run it from within Visual studio 2008 on the server but not through IIS. The Crystal Reports is the version that came with vs2008 (10.5).
    Initially I was getting unauthorized access errors so I granted full access to everyone for the bin and managed crystal report folders under program files. This fixed the unauthorized access problem but now I get the background processing error. I also tried to inpersonate an admin account with the same result. I tried to copy the crystal reports dll's to the bin folder for the project but that did not help either. I am running out of ideas. I did notice that a 16kb rpt file is generated in the Windows/temp folder every time I try to run the report.

    1. The OS is 32bit
    2. Yes. The C drive is the primary drive
    3. For the sake of simplicity and to troubleshoot the sample code has no datasource just 'Hello' in the report header. The Actual work order report that I need has ADO as datasource and it builds a PDF report without any problems when I run the page from VS2008 (development server) so I think the dll's are where thay are supposed to be. The c:\windows\assembly folder has about 25 CrystalDecisions files (10.5.37).
    Do I still need to create a deployment package even though I have everything else working?

    Hi LegalEngineer-
    Which operating system are you using? It seems like either you got a bad Driver CD disk or that your Windows Installer might need to be updated.
    You can find updated driver downloads for all NI hardware at Drivers and Updates at ni.com. I generally prefer this method because it avoids installing unnecessary software and also ensures that all drivers are up to date.

    For the first time, I'm trying to use adobe premiere elements 10 that came with my pc Windows 8. I created a single project, saved it but cannot open it. My pc shows the file I created but I get an error message that says this type file is not supported or the codex is not installed. As a test, I created another very small project and get the same error message, when I try to open it. Pls give me a simple answer, a refund or a phone

    mike frischenmeyer
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 10 running on? And, what video card/graphics card does that computer use?
    Is this the first time you are using Premiere Elements 10 or have you worked with it before successfully? There is no easy solution until we
    know the details and troubleshoot to determined what caused the problem.
    1. Can you open a new project?
    2. After you saved/closed the problem project, did you move, delete, or rename any of the files/folder that were related to the source media
    for that project?
    3. Please review the Adobe document on troubleshooting damaged projects.
    Troubleshoot damaged projects | Adobe Premiere Elements
    4. What are the steps that you are using to reopen this saved closed project.
    a. File Menu/Open Project/Name of Project
    b. Other
    Please review and consider and then we can decide what next based on your further details and results..
    Thank you.

  • Cannot download Flash Player 10 due to - Error opening file for writing: Flash10d.ocx

    Hello all,
    I am having difficulty installing Flash Player 10. I open it up, and only 10% of the download bar finishes before I get the message:
    "Error opening file for writing:
    C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10d.ocx"
    I am running Windows Vista with Internet Explorer, although I'm not 100% sure which version of IE it is and haven't found out how to check. I have McAfee for security, but I have already tried disabling the Firewall with no success.
    My computer is new, so there's a chance that it already has Flash Player 10 on it since it belonged to someone else before it came to me, but I don't know how to check that either.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Let me clarify:
    I have already tried disabling the firewall and running the installer again, but it didn't work.

  • Error opening file for writing when installing

    I cannot install Flash on my Vista X64. I have tried running
    the downloadable install and the online install. Any time I try to
    run the install I get "error opening file for writing" when trying
    to write C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\Flash9d.ocx.
    I have uninstalled Fash first (it never worked anyway) and I
    have rebooted. I even tried rebooting in Safe Mode but no matter
    what I try, I cannot remove the existing Flash9d.ocx and installing
    will not overwrite the existing file.
    Even after uninstalling Flash and rebooting to safe mode,
    Windows reports that flash9d.ocx is in use. So why is the file in
    use after uninstalling?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Dale

    Well, I finally figured out the problem with mine today. Of
    course, I'd still like to know what nefarious purpose might be
    involved with the Flash activeX file being loaded in memory even
    after uninstall and reboot such that it cannot be removed from my
    PC even in Safe Mode.
    At least I got Flash working. I discovered that Flash was
    disabled in IE.
    In IE, go to Tools->Options->Programs and then Manage
    Add-Ons. In my case, the ShockWave Flash Object was set to
    disabled. I changed it to Enabled and I was able to install and use
    Flash properly. Now I am just not sure I want to.
    With the questionable practices of using the ActiveX control
    even after uninstall, and making the file un-removable, along with
    the extremely (in my opinion) dishonest practice of installing
    Google Toolbar with Flash, I am hoping that Microsoft's Silverlight
    puts Flash out of the market - and I'm no huge fan of Microsoft
    either. With the new practices from Adobe, they are, in my opinion,
    no better than any other spyware and malware purveyor on the market
    - right up there with Napster and the dozens of follow-on products
    that tricked users into installing unwanted software.

    What could be issue ???

    Hi,
    Error:
    GGSCI (ggtarget) 16> start replicat RLOAD
    Sending START request to MANAGER ...
    ERROR: opening port for MGR MGR (Connection refused).
    You can start Manager, but when you try to start Replicat, GGSCI gives me a connection timeout error
    Solution:
    GoldenGate uses a TCP/IP socket to communicate between local processes. When you issue a START, STOP, SEND, or other command in GGSCI, the command interface will try to open a local port for the process.
    Here is how to find out which local ports these processes are listening on. In the dirpcs directory, there will be one file for each running GoldenGate process.
    For Manager, the file name will be MGR.pcm.
    For Extract, it will be <GROUP_NAME>.pce.
    For Replicat, it will be <GROUP_NAME>.pcr.
    These are text files that can be viewed by using cat or any equivalent command. For example, the MGR.cpm file content will read like this:
    PROGRAM MGR PROCESSID MGR PORT sys1.4356 PID 60070
    After the keyword PORT will be the local hostname and the port number that Manager is supposed to be running on. In the preceding example, the hostname is sys1, and the port is 4356.
    The program (ggsci) tries to use that hostname to communicate to the process (Extract/Replicat/Manager) when the command is issued in GGSCI. If you get a timeout or connection-refused error on the command, that means GoldenGate could not connect to the local host. Most of the time, you should have no problem connecting to a local host, but when you have the wrong IP address or routine table configured in your TCP/IP settings, connection errors can happen.
    To troubleshoot this, follow the steps below
    1. Try to ping that host name from the OS shell to see if it goes to the correct IP address (which should be the one for the local system).
    2. If the ping is successful, try to telnet to the Manager port on your local host. You will be able to see your telnet session connect if a Manager is listening on that port.
    Here is an example:
    shell>telnet
    telnet> open sys1 4356
    Trying 100.100.100.100...
    Connected to sys1.oracle.com (100.100.100.100).
    Escape character is '^]'.
    3. If your telnet session times out or gets a connection-refused error, that means either the hostname is wrong or the port number is wrong.
    If the ping to the hostname listed in the pcm/pce/pcr file fails, or if you cannot connect your telnet session to the port listed in the file(s), contact your network engineers to get the TCP/IP issue resolved.
    Hope this information helps.
    Thanks & Regards

  • There was an error opening database for the library....

    what is ....? Is the path to your main Aperture library printed there, or is Aperture trying to open a different location? If it is a different location, launch Aperture on your correct library, by double clicking the library.
    If it is indeed trying to open the correct library package, try if repairing and rebuilding the library with the "first aid tools" will help, see this manual page on how to do this:

  • Error -2003: a data handler needed by the movie could not be found

    Hello.
    I just purchased QuickTime Pro and the MPEG-2 add-on for it, for the single purpose of transcoding some MPEG-2 recordings to H.264. However, when I try to open any of my MPEG-2 files in Quicktime, I get the message: "error -2003: a data handler needed by the movie could not be found (my-filename.mpg)"
    I can play these files in a number of different free players--VLC, Mplayer, Windows Media Player, RealPlayer... but not in the player I paid $50 for.
    Can someone please help me?

    That doesn't really help. Besides, I haven't even got to the point where I'm trying to export. I get this error message when I try to open the file. I can't even play back the clip.
    And the MPEG-2 page clearly states: "The QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component provides QuickTime users with the ability to import and play back MPEG-2 content, including both multiplexed (a.k.a. muxed, where the audio and video tracks are interleaved together into one track) and non-multiplexed (a.k.a. elementary) streams."
    Also, Streamclip crashes when I try to load my MPEG-2 clips, so that's not going to work (and even if it did, I am trying to find a simple way to take the HDTV content I've recorded off the air and get it onto my AppleTV--I want fewer steps, not more).
    Looks like I'll have to waste some time calling customer service to get a refund, since there's no way to do this via the website.

  • Unable to prepare project for publishing.The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-50)

    Hi,
    I have not used iMovie much since buying my Mac in 2009. But now I have a camera (Canon EOS 7D) that takes HD movies, and decided to edit some footage.  iMovie is the worst product I have tried on this Mac. The previous movie I created to this one was done about a year ago using a template. This time I did not want to use any of the vast choice of 4 ugly not very customizable templates so tried creating from scratch. It crashed / beach balled (combinations of both) at least 15-20 times in the time it took me to edit together 44 minutes of footage into a 5 minute movie. Such actions as clicking to move a clip from one section of the movie to another, adding a photo via iPhoto (love the way you CANNOT add photos from anywhere else Apple - that is a lovely touch Apple -- since I use Lightroom since I learned some time ago that iPhoto is crummy if you have more photos than will fit on your hard drive, as you have to repoint the software to "find" your new photos one by one by one (with hundreds of thousands of photos I decided to ditch your software instead) so I had to go through the trouble of importing exported Lightroom .jpg files into iPhoto just for this movie). Why oh why did I think that iMovie might be a useful tool on my Mac ??? I so regret the past 24 hours ...
    After 14 hours of hair pulling, swearing and struggling, rebooting, and force-quitting beach balls -- finally I was ready to export the project, which played cleanly in the iMovie viewer.
    So, now comes the final slap in the face from Apple -- Now,  no matter what format I choose to try to export this movie, I get the above error after about 1 second.
    I am trying to export to a folder on my local hard drive. I have tried various folders, including the desktop to no avail. I have tried changing various export settings and methods, choosing iDVD, Quicktime and what I really want - the normal movie and always get this same hideous, undescriptive error after only about a second. I tried various sizes of movies, and screen formats. Absolutely no change in the amount of time to get this error.
    I have a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.6.8 and 4GB of memory. I am running no other apps while I try this and have rebooted dozens of times, repaired permissions and run various "clean up" utilities. I have 79GB free disk space on my start up disk.
    When I imported the original movie files to iMovie, due to performance concerns I told it to copy the files to the disk and to reduce the video format size (my camera records HD but I did not need HD).  I saw someone say maybe the original files are on a remote disk -- but when remote disks are not connected I still get all the movies to play, so they must be locally stored. Also, when I try to use the iMovie option to Consolidate media it does not seem to do anything and returns instantly (but I can "undo" that and it also seems to do nothing ... ie takes no time at all). Yet the Consolidate Media prompt seems to show 6GB of clips are somewhere, which if copying what it claims are 6GB of files should take awhile to do it -- and it does not.
    I am trying to export to a local disk, not a remote disk. The original import was from a remote attached USB drive, and I asked it to copy the files into the library at the start (in the reduced size format). That operation took awhile so it seemed to be really doing it.
    I did not use an iMovie template to build the movie, I built it from clips using various of the "transitions" and added some music from iTunes (2 mp3 files) and from the default effects folders of iMovie.
    I cannot easily "remake" this movie in a new project, because the clips are only small sections of various parts of the many import files and some were done as "inserts" (to have 2 video clips running simultaneously with one fading into view) etc.. There are no "caution" signs on any of the clips or music or any indication of errors when I play it in preview mode, or even full screen from iMovie. It starts up in iMovie if I click on the ".project" file from the Finder.
    I have read a number of entries from advice givers regarding this error. Seems everything from "you left your car running too long" to "the refridgerator door is open" could cause this error and there is no actual way to trouble shoot what that could be except by trial and error, which I could easily spend another week doing and still never figure it out. I tried duplicating the project using the menu option, and I just get the same error.
    Is there some reason Apple released this piece of *?£$!ç%*& software into the world, causing me to waste so many hours of my creative time and energy, only to find I can do nothing but view the results inside of iMovie ???
    I want to really scream at someone at Apple right now for the most idiotic stupid unhelpful error message ever, and the worst piece of software ever. Worst because it makes you think you can produce something very cool, and even lets you see it in the iMovie preview viewer -- only to pull the rug out from under you at the end when you can't do anything but show it to friends who come to your house and look at your Mac.
    Not really a question I guess - more like a RANT and wondering what other software out there is recommended for someone who is not a pro but wants to make nice movies that WORK and will EXPORT. I expect no one knows how to solve this because all the people I see reporting this error seem to think various hundreds of things "resolved it", so in other words it is a generic error that has no way to solve it except through hours of trial and error -- Apple should be shot for releasing this and never fixing it. I see the same error code is helpfully still there in iMovie 11 as well.
    I also have no desire to upgrade to Mountain Lion, having read multiple people saying their Macs of the generation I have got really really slow after loading it, so suggest something compatible please. I am not going to waste another 12 hours trying to decipher which of the dozens of clips, edits, wipes or mp3 files could cause "error -50".
    Also, I have no time machine plugged in right now, not sure what that would have to do with anything anyhow, since I am trying to export it to a local disk, not a remote one.
    So - what NON APPLE product that is REASONABLE in price does someone recommend to replace this stinking pile of poo known as iMovie ???

    PS - have found other posts indicating that clips smaller than 2s or sometimes 5s, or "short files" can cause this. Modern style editing often uses short takes ! Good grief I cannot believe Apple. Well I deleted a half a dozen short sections and can export, but now of course the video is a ruined piiece of junk and I need to re-do the whole thing, the sound etc. which is basically taking as much time as the original. And each time I re-do it I risk again this lovely error -50 and again trying to figure out what thing bugs it via trial and error instead of a REASONABLE ERROR MESSAGE POINTING TO THE CLIP IT CAN'T PROCESS. What a mess. I HATE this iMovie application - full of BUGS BUGS BUGS which Apple will not fix obviously, since I had this product for a few years and see just hundreds of hits on Google about this error with disappointed users. Such junk I cannot believe I paid money for it and Apple does not support it with fixes !!!
    If anyone knows of a GOOD reasonably priced video editing program NOT from APPLE I am still looking for suggestions. I want to do more video in future, but obviously NOT with iMovie !!!
