Physical-virtual MSCS (Microsoft cluster service)

Hello

I have 2 physical Windows 2003 servers (IBM Blade / SAN boot) and MSCS with SAN lun data.

Now, I don't want to migrate cluster node1 virtual machine on ESX 3.0.1and stay node2 cluster on the physical computer.

What worries me is what will happen with the data on these LUNS/disks when I map RDM (physical RDM compatibility) in ESX server?

What is the safest way to a virtual node and not lose any data?

THX

Dejan

the safest would be to create a 3rd node (virtual) and add this to the cluster and then expel the old physical node, rather than perform a P2V

  • Physical/virtual MSCS & vMotion

    So, I've spent the last few days search and document clustering options in vSphere 5.  I came to understand the warnings and limits with each type of save this:

    Are the vMotion & DRS valid limits in a MSCS physical-virtual 2008 r2 cluster?  All documents and forums I read set out clearly the purely virtual cluster cannot be vMotioned manually (although it doesn't seem to work if a host goes down), but I don't see anything that indicates the same when a physical host is the mixture.

    Can someone clarify the situation?  Of course, I'll be testing in a lab environment but wanted further clarification before submitting this project from design to management.

    Thank you

    It does not change if there is a physical box into the mix.

    The virtual SCSI adapter must still be in the bus, sharing mode, which prevents from vMotion.

  • Microsoft Cluster Services - vmware

    If a virtual machine is running in 2008 and will be used for Microsoft cluster services, can drive BONE be thin commissioning?

    No, the disc format should be thick.  It is documented in the document "Setup for Microsoft Cluster Service and Failover Clustering".

  • Microsoft Cluster in vSphere using RDM disks

    Gentlemen, I have doubts that sounds simple, but it is better to ask than to the hurt things.

    Here, in the company where I started work two weeks ago. We have two servers of files Windows Server 2012, both are part of Microsoft Cluster Services, these two servers are virtualized on VMware ESXi 5.5, each on a host, here we use vCenter HA and DRS.

    Well, these file servers 03 RDM disks connected to the fibre channel, storage only disks are online only on node 1, node 2 drives are present in the computer Manager, but marked offline.

    To my knowledge, my experience of simple Microsoft cluster, the disks must be online on all nodes for disaster recovery is quick, for example through cluster in Windows Server 2008 R2 and Hyper-V Server R2 of 2012 using iSCSI storage and always leave the disks online on all nodes.

    My question is: is there a reason why a node drives remain online and the other node is taken offline? Because of RDM technology?

    I can then do disks on node 2 as well as online without risk?

    I'm an environment that left another analyst configured, had never made Windows Server 2012 in virtualized VMware vSphere servers cluster using RDM disks, so made the questions, so instead of simply in clicking on node 2 of disks and makes them online it is better to ask before

    Thank you!

    Ivanildo, is the normal Windows Server Failover Clustering behavior, since it is an active/passive cluster architecture, where a single node read/write a disk at a time, and is not a problem due to the use of RDMS in vSphere environment.

    The bellow image show two discs a WSFC, where 6 disk Offline on that particular node and the 7 disc is online:

    And, do TRY not to put the disks as offline being online on another node through disk management, this task must be performed by using the Failover Cluster Management console.

  • MSCS - NLB Microsoft cluster

    Hello

    We have 4 cluster NLB nodes on Production site and we expect protect it with MRS. 5.1.1.

    SRM 5.1.1 supports 2-node Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS).  vSphere 5.1.x supports up to 5-node MSCS. SRM 5.1.x supports 2-node MSCS.

    Is it possible to have 4 NLB nodes in production and to protect only two nodes with MRS? as we just need two nodes for DR.

    Not sure, but I think you mix two features here, MSCS, and NETWORK load balancing. The restrictions apply to MSCS, but not NETWORK load balancing (unless I'm missing something).

  • Break a Microsoft cluster and attends independent P2V in a VMware environment

    I searched and searched for the best possible, answering this question and can not find specific answers!

    I have a file server Windows Server 2003 in a 2 node cluster (active/passive) with resources on a San, and what I want to do is:

    1 remove the cluster and have all the resources on a single machine.

    2. rename the machine with the resources on the virtual server name (cluster name)

    3 do a P2V to the file server in my cluster vmware environment

    I have no problem with the steps 2 and 3, but remove the cluster and will strictly autonomous is my Goliath. What I have read, I need to move all resources to one node, then stop the cluster service on the other node, then delete the node. From there I don't know what to do. Help, please! I want to achieve in the coming weeks.

    Check this Microsoft kb article.

    Another option could be to create a new file server in a virtual machine and then attach the storage where the actions as a RDM.

    Options are always good.

    Good luck!

  • Can you attribute programmatically size when you use the table in the Cluster service cluster

    I use the table of the Cluster service.  The only way I know to the size of the cluster is to right click on the function and set the Cluster size.  But what happens if the length of my table changes?  Is there a way to make the cluster size is the number of elements in the table?  Seems like labview should do this automatically at run time.  There may be some nodes of property I don't know.

    I tried the SQL statements, but it always boils down to having to know the number of columns is in the database prior to execution.

    What I did to generate the object to be a cluster to match database fields.  My recordset is an array of objects.  Then I a vi member to build a recordset from the database and another Member vi to retrieve an array of clusters of the recordset object.  If the database changes, I have to change the subject and these two vi.  All the other Subvi call these two for the manipulation of data.  No other sub - VI have bundle and ungroup functions in them, only the vi of two members.  Thus a change in the database requires a change of control and two vi.  Not too bad.

    Hi brigitteserre,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Communities. The problem description, I understand that you are not able to install the updates. Provide the following information:

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    ·         You get the error message?

    ·         You are able to install other updates successfully?

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot State to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the section How to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state from the link to start the computer to a Normal startupmode.

    After the clean boot used to resolve the problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally.

    (a) click Start, run.

    (b) type msconfigand click OK.

    (c) the System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

    (d) click the general tab, click Normal startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.

    (e) when you are prompted, click restart to restart the computer.

    Method 3: You can also manually install updates (KB number) by downloading from the Microsoft Download Center.
