2.8 Registry Change to Enable Clustered RAID
A registry change is required to enable support for Clustered Windows Servers using clustered
RAID controllers. Edit the registry as described in the Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2839292.
To add the key to the registry, follow these steps:
1. Open Registry editor (regedit.exe).
2. Locate and then select the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ClusDIsk\Parameters
3. Right-click on the Parameters key and then choose New.
4. Select DWORD and give it a name of AllowBusTypeRAID.
5. Once the key is created, give it a value of 0x01.
6. Click on OK.
7. Exit the Registry editor.
8. Restart the computer (see note below).
This registry change is required on both of the servers.
Important note: For best results, the restart of the servers after applying the registry change
should occur at the same time, to allow the servers to communicate with the JBOD
simultaneously upon re-boot.
