Configuring Multiple Storagesets Error
When configuring multiple storagesets, the following error may occur:
Error 8020: No metadata found on container. An INITIALIZE
DISKxxxxx must be issued before this container is used
To correct this error:
1. Allow enough time for the previous storagesets to initialize before continuing.
2. Recreate the storageset that erred and then continue configuring the remaining
storagesets.
Discovery of Units Error
After configuring the storagesets for the first time, Secure Path may encounter an
error during the discovery of the units when the server is restarted. The second server
is powered off at this time. An Administrator Alert, “
Unable to Configure
External Storage,
” is received.
To correct the error, reboot the server as many times as needed to discover all
the units.
Physical Disk Resources Cannot Be Brought Online
• For Windows NT, both cluster nodes should be rebooted after installing
Microsoft Cluster software. If you have not done so, reboot the two nodes.
• Verify that there are no hardware errors or transport problems by using Event
Viewer. Look in the Event Log for disk I/O error messages or indications of
problems with the communications transport.
• Microsoft Cluster Administrator takes a snapshot of the registry when it starts up.
However, it may take up to a minute after the second node is rebooted for the
disk signatures to be written to both registries. You may not have waited long
enough to view the most up-to-date data. Wait a minute, then click Refresh (or
press the F5 key).
