RE: DAG static ip address unreachable

2011-10-17 Thread Sobey, Richard A
It's certainly related to clustering, and probably not Exchange :)

My two cents: you've lost quorum on your DAG, is your FSW (if appropriate) up?

 We are unable to ping the DAG from the backup server or even the mailbox

Windows Firewall and that's not the problem.
 I've brought up the Failover Cluster Manager and under the Cluster Core

Attempts to bring the resource online return with
0x80071397 - The operation failed because either the specified cluster node is 
not the owner of the resource, or the node is not a possible owner of the 
resource.

Going through the system logs I find:
Cluster node the_other_server was removed from the active failover cluster 
membership. The Cluster server on this node may have stopped.
The could also be due to the node having lost communication with other active 
nodes in the failover cluster.  Run the Validate a Configuration wizard to 
check your network configuration.

I run the Validate a Configuration wizard and it tells me that my cluster isn't 
running.

I go to the_other_server and find in the system log:
The Cluster service is shutting down because quorum was lost.

Using Test-ReplicationHealth tells me that my QuorumGroup failed.

Googling around found a reference that my cluster could be a little out of sync 
and suggested clearing and then re-checking the Allow clients to connect 
through this network box for the Networks in the Failover Cluster Manager.  No 
joy...

This appeared to just happen out of blue.  There weren't any updates or changes 
that I put on and no one is fessing up to any changes.  Not sure where to go 
from here.  Suggestions?

RE: DAG static ip address unreachable

2011-10-17 Thread Maglinger, Paul
FOUND THE PROBLEM!
Somehow it appears that the DAG server that resides in another site had lost 
one of the persistent routes.  Now another question...

Has anyone heard of a persistent route just disappearing out of the blue?  I 
could understand it going away if it wasn't persistent and we rebooted the 
system, but that wasn't the case, but the system wasn't rebooted.  This was 
working for 3 weeks before this happened.

RE: DAG static ip address unreachable

2011-10-17 Thread Michael B. Smith
Yes. This is a known issue if you use the route.exe command to set routes. The 
resolution is to use netsh.exe to set routes.

And no, there are no plans to fix the problem.
