Troubleshooting 67

You are using a

PowerVault MD3000

or PowerVault

MD3000i storage

array and Virtual

Disks failover

continuously between

the two storage

controllers when a

storage path fails.

The failback mode for

the cluster node(s) is

not set properly.

Set the correct failback mode on each

cluster node:

• For PowerVault MD3000 storage,

merge the

Cluster.reg

file located

in the

\utility

directory of the Dell

PowerVault MD3000 Resource

Media into the registry of each

node. This file changes the

PowerVault MD3000 from

Stand

Alone

to

Cluster

mode.

• For PowerVault MD3000i, merge

the

Cluster.reg

file located in the

windows\utility

directory of the

Dell PowerVault MD3000i resource

media into the registry of each

node. This file changes the

PowerVault MD3000i from

Stand

Alone

to

Cluster

mode.

You are using a

PowerVault MD3000

or PowerVault

MD3000i storage

array and Virtual Disk

Copy operation fails.

The Virtual Disk Copy

operation uses the

cluster disk as the

source disk.

To perform a Virtual Disk Copy

operation on the cluster share disk,

create a snapshot of the disk, and

then perform a Virtual Disk Copy of

the snapshot virtual disk.
