Windows Server 2008R2 - Adding additional New Fibre Channel Storage will I need to reboot after mpclaim?

I am replacing an MSA 1500 Fibre Channel array with an MSA 2040 on a live system. The new array has been installed physically and connected to the switch fabric.
Both arrays are connected to a common switch fabric. The new array can see all the physical hosts on the SAN, and I have managed to setup MPIO on the least critical box but rebooted that one as I used the -r -i -a options. My question is will I be able to
run mpclaim -n -i -d "HP      MSA 2040 SAN" and not have to reboot afterwards? I have read every piece of documentation and some seem to hint this is possible in 2008 R2 and later but it is not explicitly clear as MS haven't updated
all their docs to detail differences.
I suppose I am after the wisdom of experience.
Since MPIO has already been installed and working for a different array I am hoping any requirement to reboot should not be there?
Your advice greatly appreciated.

Hi,
If the server cannot be rebooted at the time the command is run, you could use the -n switch instead. The devices will not be claimed by MPIO until the server reboots.
For more detailed information, please refer to the articles below:

  • How to install windows server 2008r2 on proliant microserver with 8gb storage?

    I've just purchased two HP Proliant N40 Microservers and am trying to install Windows 2008 Server R2 on them.  They come with a single hard drive of just 250GB capacity so on one server I have used the two supplied drives to create a RAID1 array of 250GB and Windows installed fine.
    On the second I have installed four WB Green 2TB drives and have configured them as RAID10 for the best performance and resilience. So I have a single disk showing to Windows of 4GB after the RAID array is built.
    But Windows gets so far before failing saying it can't proceed (and giving no clue as to why). Googling the issue it seems that there is an issue with installing Windows on a drive with > 2TB.  HP themselves talk about the use of RAID drivers for Windows here: http://h20584.www2.hp.com/hpgt/guides/select?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=4248009&lan... but the link is useless because the link it gives for downloading the driveres just displays a "Not authorised" screen.
    I just want a simple way to install Windows 2008 using a secure, performant reliable set of discs.  RAID10 gives me that but Windows won't install.  It seems my only option is to format two RAID1 arrays to overcome this silly limitation.
    Am I right?  Or is there a way to configure the four disks as a RAID10 array that Windows can be installed on?
    Thanks for any advice,
    Ian

    Update, install continues when drives are set to IDE...so it fails using RAID (1 or 10).

  • Windows Server 2008r2 - Users somtimes can't see new files in folders unless a new file is created.

    Hello Folks!
    My users sometimes have a problem that user A sometimes can't see a file created or copied by user B to a directory within a share they can both access. Both are within the same group which grants them Full Access on the share, settings for permissions are
    correctly set to be applied on directories, subdirectories and files.. Confusingly, this can be fixed when user A creates some kind of file (empty .txt, for example); the "missing" files will suddenly appear.
    Windows Server 2008r2, DC
    Windows File Server 2008r2, shares and files are located here.
    ABENUM activated, needed for several folders.
    The Domain-Admin Account is able to see all the files all the time.
    Anybody got an idea what I could check?
    Thank you very much!
    Kind regards,

    Hi,
    When you use user A access the shared folder, did you do the refresh to check the result?
    If the issue persists, please try to install this hotfix:

  • Windows Server 2008R2 profile unload impossible due to Temp "Z@.." files

    Hi,
    We are supporting many environments for different customers.
    Unfortunately they all share the same issue, which is caused by the combination of Windows Server 2008R2 and Adobe Reader 11.
    The files are located in "C:\Users\Some-User\AppData\Local\Temp\2\acrord32_sbx\[email protected]"
    There are many folders, for one user sometimes up to 20 folders (user.domain.001, user.domain.002 etc), collecting up to wazoo.
    Removing hotfixes do not solve the issue, neither does the two provided acroct.ini files (to be placed in \windows\ folder).
    All Servers are up2date on Windows update, conform a Patch Policy we maintain.
    We have tried removing Windows updates, ofcourse with a deny on the patch policy so that it doesnt return, but the issue stays occurring.
    I'd prefer to have this issue resolved by installing a patch - Instead of removal of patches.
    As I am searching for a way to directly contact Adobe Support, I could only opt-in on this forum to get support afaik.
    If needed, I can put down more information ofcourse.
    Server info:
    Hypervisor: VMware 5.1
    OS:     Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (used as Terminal Server, one of 5 servers total)
    RAM:     12GB Memory
    Adobe Reader version:     Adobe Reader XI (11.0.06)
    Anyone who can help out get professional support, please don't hesitate to respond.
    Regards, Michael

    I have read many many articles for this issue.
    Outcome is, like from this Blog, Adobe has to re-code Reader.
    We have tried alot of ways to get this fixed, but neither uninstalling MS Patches, nor the AcroCT.ini files (yes both) are a fix for us.
    If Adobe Reader needs to use temporary fonts for printing the PDF files, they have to Force unload and clean up the temporary fonts/files. (Font Installation and Deletion (Windows))
    Since MS14-045: Description of the security update for kernel-mode drivers: August 27, 2014 there is a new behavior for Font and Font Resource installation/deletion.
    Since Adobe Reader has NO support channel, NO way of contacting other than the forums:
    How on earth could we get this to be fixed in a new release???
    Should this message be posted on all threads for this annoying issue?
    We are facing this problem with over 10 customers on over 600 Remote Desktop Servers - No way I am going to remove patch #1 from August 2014, which is being re-deployed in a newer fix every month..
    The root cause is the programming in Adobe, which had been conform Microsoft's wishes, but this behavior change in removal has to be remarked to Adobe...
    Regards and awaiting a way into the developers part on Adobe Reader.

  • Windows Server 2008r2 Printer Sharing

    Hi folks,
    I have a Windows Server 2008r2 set up as my workstation and I'd like to share the printer with my wife's MacBook. I've set up Printing Services on WS2008r2 and enabled IPP, LPD and everything else I could think of.
    The printer sharing works, our other laptop which is Win7 can use it normally, but setting up the share on a Mac is a whole new kettle of fish.
    I couldn't get it to connect via IPP, Mac keeps insisting on port 631 even though IPP is running on port 80 here. I have no idea what to put into the address field, if I copy/paste the URL the Mac doesn't recognise it. If I just put in the server name it's happy but insists on connecting to port 631.
    Next came LPD which seems to work, Mac connects to the server and picks up the printer. Which brings me to the next problem. If I use standard generic postscript driver then nothing happens, printer gets switched on on the server and stops. An event log entry reports an LPD error:
    "The Line Printer Daemon (LPD) service received commands in an invalid format from 192.168.2.106 and refused the print job. This can occur if the Line Printer Remote (LPR) client is incompatible with the Windows LPD service and Request for Comments (RFC) 1179. Try printing using a different LPR client."
    The printer is a Canon Pixma iP5200R. If I switch the printer options from generic postscript to a Canon printer it will print but it only uses about 60% of the space, so everything is shrunk on the page. It does print the full content of the page, just makes everything smaller. I managed to get this far by selecting one of the BJC (Bubblejet) models from the drop-down list.
    I've installed Canon's driver for iP5200 from their site but it's not available anywhere on the Mac. How do I tell the Mac to use a different driver?
    I feel I'm getting close to fixing this, but now the problem is in Macland and I'm not too familiar with it.
    Anyone got any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    I'm going to apologize first because I don't have a real solution and my post will sound negative, but my experience may give some insight.
    My experience is that Apple didn't get Windows printing "done right" until 10.5. Prior to that, I could never print to a Canon S800 printer attached to a Vista Ultimate machine. With the printer attached to a XP machine, I could print, but it would often fail. (Just no output and OSX saying printer was offline.) This was with a G3 B&W with 10.3 and a iMac with 10.4. And like you, I did try the IPP and LPD settings but just never got a usable setup.
    Then I got a Macbook Pro with 10.5. Printing worked fine straight out of the box to the same S800 printer on Vista. Mac Mini with 10.5 worked also. Upgraded both to 10.6 and printing still works. Even a clean reload of 10.6 on the Macbook, Windows printing is fine. Also to a Epson R280 attached to the same Vista machine.
    Windows 2008, having more in common with Vista and Win7, I'd guess that you may be having similar issues to me. I don't know of any fix, other than 10.5. If you have a friend with a newer Mac, then you can test it. (Otherwise, if you can upgrade your Mac to 10.5 or 10.6. But testing with a friend's Mac would save the cost of buying an OSX upgrade if it didn't work.)
    Like I said, no real solution, other than possibly upgrading to 10.5/10.6. So maybe just a pointer to a different line of thinking. Good luck!

  • HP Office Jet Pro 8600 Plus 910 n printer driver does not install on a windows server 2008R2 OS

    I recently had a new server installed, a Proliant with a Windows Server 2008R2 operating system. I now just discovered that my All in One Office Jet Pro 8600 Plus A 910 will not install on the Windows Server 2008 R2, ïncompatible operating system. Does anybody have a workaround or solution?

    Hello dawnp,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with installing the printer on to your Windows 7 computer.
    I suggest that we start off by running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.  If the Doctor fails, please let me know where it failed as well as any error codes you may see.
    Write me back when you have time and I will be happy to help.

  • System Cache Issues with Windows Server 2008R2

    Hi,
    I'm trying to deploy Java version 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_14-b03) on a new Windows Server 2008R2 installation. I want to use the system cache feature and have used it successfully on Windows XP workstations and Windows 2003 servers in the past. I even got it to work on a test Win Server 2008R2 server earlier this week. But on my production machine I can't get the system cache to configure.
    I installed Java as usual and it installed into the Program Files(x86) directory. I copied my deployment files to the c:\windows\sun\java\deployment directory.
    Deployment.config contains:
    deployment.system.config=file\:/c\:/windows/sun/java/deployment/deployment.properties
    Deployment.properties contains:
    deployment.user.cachedir=C\:\\Program Files\\HCN
    deployment.user.cachedir.locked
    deployment.system.cachedir=C\:\\Program Files\\HCN
    deployment.javaws.shortcut="NEVER"
    deployment.javaws.autodownload="NEVER"
    Not sure what's missing here especially since it worked fine the other day.
    Both of these servers are virtual, VMware ESX 3.5 and were created from the same template. Only real difference is the production system will be a XenApp application server so it has XenApp installed.
    Error I'm getting is that in Javaws it reports that the system cache is not configured and every time I launch my application it has to download from the source because we are deleting the local profiles when the user logs out.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance,
    Linn

    >    I just wanted to know whether there will be any sort of communication or support issues between PROD and DEVE systems with such diverse configurations.
    No.
    You could even use HP-UX on the DEV system - as long as you're able to share a common directory to ensure transporting it's not a problem. Transports are OS and DB independent.
    However, memory management and security in Windows 2008 changed significantly, you may have to use different configurations for W2K8 vs. W2K3.

    What do I need to install and what changes to the web.config do I need to make to have my reports continue to display via my website?

    First, you need to download the new SDK - it's no longer available as part of the Crystal Reports install.
    To do this go here:  http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-7824.  Download and install the latest version of the "Install Executable" to get integration into Visual Studio.  The other installs are the runtime installs - select the appropriate runtime install for your environment.
    Now you have to upgrade your application to VS 2010 or newer.  There are some changes to the SDK, so you can't just replace the assemblies in your existing application's configuration.  DO NOT compile as "any CPU", you need to specifically target either x86 (32-bit runtime) or x64 (64-bit runtime).  If you target the 32-bit runtime (which will run on a 64-bit server!) and you're using ODBC, you'll need to create 32-bit ODBC connections on the server.  In any case, when working in VS, you'll need 32-bit ODBC connections for testing.

    I have some terminal servers on Windows Server 2008R2. Users have the ability to use web browsers (IE, Firefox) with the included Flash Player, IM clients / Internet
    telephony (Skype, ICQ), Windows Media Player, Office, and a specific internal software (works with MS SQL). I have the following problem: the Windows audio service hangs up that leads to hangup of all programs which use it, such as: any sites in Internet with
    a flash content (in all browsers), ICQ, Skype.Even logging out the session hung when tried to lose a sound. It's impossible to stop or restart service from the services.msc the service just hang with status "restarting". To stop service I terminate svchost
    process. As soon as the audio service is stopped - all programs start to work correctly (certainly without a sound). This problem appeared not suddenly - periodic hangups of programs on servers were marked long ago (more than half a year), but not directly
    were connected to audio service, especially there were they rather rare (on the average once a week - two) and were corrected by server reset. The error message: 
    Error container , type 0 
    Event name: AppHangXProcB1

    Ident CAB: 0 
    Problem signature:

    shall suggest an idea about a sound service, but in Event Viewer has no Windows Audio events. 
    Recently I updated Skype to the last version 6.0.66.120. Before was 4.2.35.155 because versions 5хх on Windows2008R2 with the Remote Desctop Services actually don't
    work, if users at the server more than one or two. We checked the sixth version by the test machine with the terminal environment and very were delighted to its normal working capacity. However after installation of this client on production servers it appeared
    that hangups of programs on servers began to occur on the average time at an o'clock in case of an average daily load (about 20 users on one server). If you have worked one or two users, problems weren't watched. Internet search led me to the support page
    Skype, where the Windows 7 x64 user faced a similar problem in the fifth version of the program. But the solutions proposed by the support team does not help me. In addition, I found the advice to disable enhancements in the properties of the playback device,
    but it is impossible for the "Remote Audio" device. 
    At the moment, on servers where I updated the Skype, I disabled the audio service. If within a reasonable time, I do not find a solution, I will have to revert
    to an older version of Skype, but I would like to solve the problem completely. 

    Enable the Allow audio and video playback redirection Group Policy setting
    To allow audio and video playback when connecting to a computer running Windows Server 2008 R2, you must enable the Allow audio and video playback redirection Group Policy setting. The Allow audio and video playback redirection Group Policy setting is located
    in Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Device and Resource Redirection and can be configured by using either Local Group Policy Editor or the Group Policy Management
    Console (GPMC).
    For more information about Group Policy settings for Remote Desktop Services, see the Remote Desktop Services Technical Reference (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=138134).
    Is this policy applied? Refer:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd759165.aspx
    Also, have you tried update the audio device driver for this terminal server?

  • Windows Server 2012 as NTP Server for Windows Server 2008R2 Domain Controller

    We have one domain with 3 Windows Server 2008R2 DC's. Our Edge router is configured to get the time from the internet, and was our timesource for the PDC emulator. But lately we have migrated our major routers to Cisco IOS15, and now the timeservice on the
    PDCe is unable to fetch the time. This is a known bug, as you can read here:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ja-JP/b16de048-8642-4799-b85a-ad092e17dd47/windows-server-2012-ntp-version-compatibility
    Now I've found out that Windows Server 2012 does sync with the router. That's our DirSync server, and is in the same VLAN as our DC's. So I thought: I'll set up the Windows Server 2012 as new timeserver, so our PDCe can sync with that server. (Compony
    policy is that DC's don't talk to the internet). Everything seems alright.
    I've set:
    w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:<IP of router>,0x8 /syncfromflags:manual
    w32tm /config /reliable:yes
    Changed the registry with:
    HKLM\SYSTEM\CC\SERVICES\W32TIME\TIMEPROVIDERS\NTPSERVER - Enabled:1
    HKLM\SYSTEM\CC\SERVICES\W32TIME\Config - AnnounceFlags:A
    And stopped and started the W32Time service. I can see that the Windows 2012 server is fetching the correct time, and checked with NBTSTAT -NA that it's listening on port 123.
    But our PDCe doesn't sync. (also changed the config so it has the 2012 server as timesource). Get the EventID 47:
    Time Provider NtpClient: No valid response has been received from manually configured peer <w2012server> after 8 attempts to contact it. This peer will be discarded as a time source and NtpClient will attempt to discover a new peer with this DNS
    name. The error was: The peer is unreachable.
    What more can I try?

    It only shows me the 3 DC's:
    DC04.domain.local *** PDC ***[[::1]:123]:
        ICMP: 0ms delay
        NTP: +0.0000000s offset from DC04.domain.local
            RefID: 'LOCL' [0x4C434F4C]
            Stratum: 1
    DC03.domain.local[10.x.x.x:123]:
        ICMP: 0ms delay
        NTP: -0.0097028s offset from DC04.domain.local
            RefID: DC04.domain.local [10.x.x.x]
            Stratum: 2
    DC05.domain.local[10.x.x.x:123]:
        ICMP: 0ms delay
        NTP: -0.0127883s offset from DC04.domain.local
            RefID: W8D-VW-DC04.domain.local [10.x.x.x]
            Stratum: 2
    Warning:
    Reverse name resolution is best effort. It may not be
    correct since RefID field in time packets differs across
    NTP implementations and may not be using IP addresses.

  • Does ms office 2010 support in windows server 2008r2

    Hi
    I required the information regarding that does ms office 2010 support in  windows server 2008r2 edition & if support then how can i down load the office service pack for the same.

    Yes, you can install Office 2010 on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1). For the system requirements for Office 2010, please refer to this article:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624351(v=office.14).aspx
    Microsoft now no longer offers a download from their site, however, if you already have a product key of Office 2010, you can get Office 2010 installation package from this website:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/microsoft-office-2010-backup-FX101853122.aspx . If you don’t have a product key, I would suggest you to try the new Office – Office 2013, which also can be installed on Windows Server 2008 R2.
    For more information about the new Office, please check on this site:
