Windows Server 2008 Failover Clustering

Postby toxin » Wed May 21, 2008 7:22 am

I have two VMWare windows server 2008. On two servers installed failover cluster without shared storage. (VMware Server virtual machines currently support only the SCSI-2 disk protocol, and not applications using SCSI-3 disk reservations, but failover clustering on WinServer 2008 used SCSI-3 disk protocol).
So, i'm decided use Rocket Division's trial products: StarWind and StarPort.
On another VMWare server (WinServer 2003) I'm created Image File Device use StarWind (check box 'allow multiple concurrent iSCSI connections (clastering) is selected, no ones check boxes selected).

After that on two VMWare windows server 2008 machines i added Image like 'Remote iSCSI device' use StarPort .
On two machine i'm set to online, inizialized and formatted in NTFS new disk. New disk have are same drive letter on both servers.
Later, i'm tried to add disk in cluster. On validation process i'm get error message: "Disk Bus Type does not support clustering".

Can your team help me?
Thanks.

Hi.
We'll try to reproduce your configuration in our testlab.
Have you tried configure clustering according to our guides?
