Windows server 2012 R2 clustering issue with disks

we have a two node cluster
we have volumes configurred on both the clusters.we are using  EVA san storage.
Data(C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1)
Logs(C:\ClusterStorage\Volume2)
i am able to change/move Clustered disk drives from owner node A to Owner node B.I cannot see the clustered drives on both active/passive nodes.
i am also not able to view the volumes on node b in the windows explorer.Can someone please tell me how to look at the volumes once we move between the drives on the cluster.
Thank you
lucky

Since you are showing us that you have configured Cluster Shared Volumes, that means there are no volumes to be seen in Windows Explorer.  This is expected behavior.  When you create Cluster Shared Volumes, the cluster software creates reparse
or mount points for the volumes.  That is what the C:\ClusterStorage\Volumex is - it is pointing to the actual volume.  When you want to use storage, you need to point to C:\ClusterStorage\Volumex and whatever subdirectory you create for the location. 
CSVs are not meant to be used by all applications.  They were initially designed for Hyper-V.  But that is not how you would set up you cluster if you want to offer a something like a regular file share.

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS + User profile Disks + App-V = Explorer.exe crashing all of the time

    I have built a new RDS farm on Windows Server 2012 R2 with two Session Hosts and a combined Connect Broker/Web Access server. I had the farm up and running with User Profile Disks and all seemed OK. However, as soon as I installed the App-V 5.0 SP2 RDS
    client on the session hosts, the explorer.exe process started crashing for any user logging in via the Web Access site. The process crashes and restarts every five to ten seconds. It's the same for administrators. If they log in via Web Access explorer.exe
    crashes, but if they RDP directly to one of the session hosts explorer.exe is fine. If I reboot the session hosts, then the first user to log in via Web Access has a stable desktop session (and appears to have a new profile as well). However, if that user
    logs out and back in again, explorer.exe starts crashing again. The only applications I have packaged at the moment are Office 2013 and Firefox.
    I tried disabling User Profile Disks, but this caused a whole bunch of other problems and I eventually lost the ability to log in at all via Web Access (errors about the user profile service). As this is a small pre-production environment I completed scrapped
    all of the servers and rebuilt from scratch. Again, everything appeared fine until I installed the App-V client, then explorer.exe started crashing repeatedly for all users.
    Has anyone come across this issue before? I have tried installing the App-V 5.0 SP2 Hotfix Package 2, but this didn't help. I have read in a few forums that App-V doesn't work very well with User Profile Desks, but I have not heard of this particular issue.
    Similarly, SP2 seems to have a lot of problems, so I am going to try removing App-V RDp Client SP2 and installing SP1. I ahev also deleted User Profile Disks for the test users to recreate their profiles, but this didn't help either.
    Any other suggestions welcome!

    I forgot to include the application event log entry for explorer.exe crashing:

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 print issues

    We are using terminal server with Windows Server 2012 R2. Our users are using Windows 7 Embedded thin clients with MSTSC RDP 8.0. We are using network printers.
    There is problem with printing from Adobe Reader. We are using Adobe Reader 11.0.06. Sometimes users cannot print from Adobe Reader with error message "Printer not found" even though we can print on same printer from other software. This problem can be solved by relogging user, but in our enterprise environment, this is not acceptable solution.
    Thanks for your help.

    I had the same issue with another Canon UFRII that was not on the network. Canon has some monitor software that attempts to query the device and this threw back Invalid Parameter when the device did not exist.  Is your device on the network?

  • Using Windows Server 2012 VL Product key with Windows Server 2012 R2

    Hi all,
    Trying to use a Server 2012 vl product key to active a Server 2012 R2, but running into issues, namely it is not accepting the key. I have read many threads pointing out that different keys are required, but no mention of the process that one needs
    to take in order to obtain/swap product keys? Any ideas appreciated? :)

    The product key I have is for Windows Server 2012 Standard VL, (It's not a DC).
    I have downloaded the evaluation iso for Windows Server 2012 R2 and want to licence it (with a VL), but it is failing with the Windows Server Standard 2012 VL product key.
    My question is - am I doing something wrong, or do I need to ask Microsoft to change the product key / buy a new one? - What steps do I need to take?
    The product key for WS2012 will not work for WS2012R2. (so, yeah, you're doing that wrong)
    WS2012R2 is not a "free" upgrade from WS2012 (it's different to Win8.0 -> Win8.1)
    Your WS2012 pkey will work with WS2012. To use WS2012R2 you need a WS2012R2 pkey.
    If you want to "convert" an evaluation license install, into a full licensed install, you must match the version (2012 vs. 2012R2) and the edition, and must use DISM as well as the correct pkey.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj574204.aspx
    If you don't have the correct pkey for WS2012R2 already, and you don't have one waiting for you in the Volume Licensing Service Center website, you'll need to purchase a new license for WS2012R2.

  • How to activate Windows Server 2012 Datacenter evaluation version with product key provided on MSDN's student account

    Hi,
    I downloaded
    Windows Server 2012 Evaluation Version recently. Actually, I wanted to check whether i could run Windows Phone 8 emulator on Win server 2012 using my core2duo (Non-SLAT PC). Now i wanted to activate the evaluated version by using product key of my
    MSDN's student account. But its giving error when i enter my product key. I checked this article about converting evaluation version to full retail version. The article
    says :
    "If the server is a domain controller, you cannot convert it to a retail version. In this case, install an additional
    domain controller on a server that runs a retail version and remove AD DS from the domain controller that runs on the evaluation version."
    So kindly guide as to how I can install this additional domain controller and how to remove AD DS from domain controller. Currently, I have Dual Boot PC( win 8.1 and win server 2012).
    Hoping to get a brief response....
     

    Unless you have configured a whole lot of things into the DC running on the evaluation copy (should never install production on an evaluation copy), it would be simplest to start from scratch and reinstall. 
    Or, you simply go into Server Manager > Manage > Add Roles and Features to remove the AD role.  Then you will be back to a workgroup server.
    The evaluation version is good for 180 days plus three re-arms of 30 days each.  So you can do a lot of experimenting with the evaluation copy without the need for using an MSDN key.

  • Ml350e windows server 2012 r2 - p420 - Cant see disks

    Hi All,
    Having an issue with my ML350e, installed a p420 controller which has picked up all the disks and was able to configure a RAID 5 array within the ACU and 2 disks within a RAID1. I then tried to install server 2012R2 which when prompted with the choose a disk screen find that i cannot see the disks. I think that the driver for the P420 is not being seen within the installer. Have tried flashing BIOS to latest version have also tried the windows 2012 r2 supplementary pack from a memory stick with the "p420 driver". When searching the memory stick and finding the driver we clicked yes and it informs us that "no new device drivers were found. Make sure the installation media contains the correct drivers, and click OK". Has anyone seen this need help!!.

    Please mark my post as helpful or the answer or better yet.... both! :) Thanks!

    I have this issue. I have given my DCs and DHCP servers fixed IPv6 addresses, and every time I enable an IPv6 scope the all get a second IPv6 address from the scope, which is also published do DNS and then the next time I reboot a domain controller there
    is complete confusion.
    My objectives (which I am finding hard to achieve) are:
    - fixed IP addresses for all systems (in IPv4 I use static IPs on servers and DHCP reservations on workstations)
    - I control the gateways. If my official gateways are down I want no connectivity to the Internet, I don't want anything configuring itself.

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 Backup Issue

    Dear Sir/Madam
    Everyday I schedule the backup but backup is not successful.The event error code is below .Kindly help the system state backup is also not successfull.
    Pls help
    Regards

    Solution 1) Permanently disable WINRE so a snapshot is not attempted on the recovery partition when Windows image backup (BMR) is taken.
    a) open an administrative command prompt.
    b) Run: reagentc /disable
    c) BMR backups will now succeed. To enable WINRE again run: reagentc /enable
    this happens on a gen2 vm because the image file is larger than a gen1 image.

  • Disappearing disk space Windows Server 2012 R2 with SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise

    I've got an interesting problem with a virtual machine in our VMWare environment.  It is Windows Server 2012 R2 with SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise installed.  I started out with a 60GB disk and it started running out of space, so I increased
    it in VMWare and extended the partition to 100GB.  Well, that lasted for a bit and so I extended it again.  I've done this 3 or 4 times and now I've got a 160GB disk with about 2-3GB of space remaining (and it started with 10GB remaining). 
    WinDirStat shows 105GB of <Unknown> space being used, which is probably my issue.  However, I can't determine what this is and it keeps growing like a tapeworm.  The context menu on the <Unknown> files has all the options disabled,
    so WinDirStat doesn't appear to have access to whatever the file(s) is/are.  I've performed several chkdsk /f on the C: drive and nothing bad is reported.  I don't have any restore points and am not running VSS (that I'm aware of).  The pagefile
    reports as being about 4.9GB, so that's not the issue.  No large files are shown anywhere and my explorer settings are set to show me all files, including system files.
    When I try to run WinDirStat with elevated permissions, it hangs and becomes unresponsive. 
    I've even resorted to running CCleaner to see if it found anything, but it simply found the standard temp files and such...about 1GB. 
    I'm pulling my hair out...and I don't have much to start with.  Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks
    Russ

    It appears that somehow, Microsoft Fusion Assembly binding logging was turned on and many of the temp folders located at c:\users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\InetCache\IE were filling up with hundreds of thousands of Fusion HTM log files. 
    This is controlled by an entry in the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Fusion\ForceLog which was set to 1.  Hopefully, setting it back to zero will fix the issue.  As a result of figuring this out, I have recovered almost 80GB of disk
    space occupied by the log files.
    I thought WinDirStat would show me what I needed to know, but it turns out TreeSize (which I've used in the past) works much better.
