Configuring Cluster Services with Win 2008 Servers on a single ESX 4.1 node

[durgabaps]

Hi,

I'm trying to configure Microsoft Failover Clustering service between two nodes with the below setup:-

1) Vm1: Win 2008 Enterprise, with a shared disk of 4 GB on virtual SCSI controller (1:0);another shared disk of 40 GB on virtual SCSI controller (2:0); two network adapters,one Public and another Private.

2) VM2: Win 2008 Enterprise, with a shared disk (same as above) of 4 GB on virtual SCSI controller (1:0);another shared disk (same as above) of 40 GB on virtual SCSI controller (2:0); two network adapters,one Public and another Private.

The issue is when I ran the validation for Failover clustering it fails with the error "List all disks" fails.

Please help If anybody has configured the above scenarion and is sucessfull.

Let me know if you need any other information.

Thanks,

Did you utilize this whitepaper when setting everything up, http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r41/vsp_41_mscs.pdf?

Please take a look at the ValidateStorage log located in %systemroot%\Cluster\Reports directory. Does it show an error status?

Hi,

The issue was with Win 2008 server. Please be careful while creating a cluster with Win 2008 server with Win 2008 domain controller.

Thanks
