Cannot add File share to Windows Server 8 cluster role
-
Thursday, May 10, 2012 8:48 AM
I have a Windows Server 8 beta (build 8250) 2-node failover cluster (VMs on W2K8R2 SP1 EE Hyper-V). I have a role with SQL Server 2012 installed. I can connect to SQL Server 2012 with management tools from either node (regardless of the owner of the role). I can failover (move) the SQL Server 2012 Role between nodes without error.
When I attempt to add a file share (Role -> Add Shared Folder) I get the following dialog box:
The Client Access Point is not ready to be used for share creation
The Client Access Point 'SQL Network Name (W8CP1C0SQL01)' is not yet available.
This may be due to the network propagation delays, please try again later.The only thing I see in the events of mild interest is:

Monday, May 14, 2012 6:20 AMIn the other post Elden says there is a DNS issue. However, in my case from the cluster node (or any other server on the network), if I ping the cluster resource network name it responses in <1ms. So it doesn't look like a DNS issue on my network.

Hi,

Thanks.
