QuestionError, Validate Disk Failover

  • Monday, June 29, 2009 11:24 AMNPan Users MedalsUsers MedalsUsers MedalsUsers MedalsUsers Medals
     
    I have a two node win2008 failover cluster, attached to SAN, and for two weeks ago I disovered that the Cluster Validation doesnt pass anymore. It stops on one of the shared disks (LUNs) and the error is "Failed to offline cluster disk 0 from node servername.domain, failure reason: More data is available." ?? 

    It is only the Validation test that fails, it is no problem to move the resource from one node to the other

    I have read the "ValidateStorage.log" and the only error I can find is
    "CprepDiskOnline: Failed to get volume name for device \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\Harddisk4\Partition1\, status 3"
    but I get that for all the for all "Harddisks" even on disks where the test is ok?

    I have run chkdsk without any errors

    Is the failover test the problem or? 

    Appreciate all help I can get

    it is very little data you give us to work with here.
    But, in these cases you should involve your storage vendor to look at this

    I know, a kind-a generic answer, sorry about that

    rgds,

    Thanks for the reply anyway

    -The error message "Failed to offline cluster disk 0 from node servername.domain, failure reason: More data is available." make me belive that I should be able to find more information somewhere, can anybody point me any direction were to look for that information?

    -Have anybody else seen the message "CprepDiskOnline: Failed to get volume name for device \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\Harddisk4\Partition1\, status 3" in the file "ValidateStorage.log" when doing a successfil "Cluster Validation"??

    Apply SP2 for W2K8 and re-run validation.
