Unable to move my cluster group from node A to Node B and cluster.log analysis

Artikel
03/25/2009

I have a 2 node MSCS quorum based cluster and was unable to move my cluster group from node 17 to node16 manually from cluadmin. So let’s have a look and the very first thing one will do is look at cluster.log and event logs…we at Microsoft will grab a quick cluster mps reports to see detailed information. So I quickly ran cluster mps on both nodes and that grabbed all the log files in cab file which I can look into now.

Link for cluster mps

https://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b/1/bb139fcb-4aac-4fe5-a579-30b0bd915706/MPSRPT_CLUSTER.EXE

now from my cluster mps reports I quickly outlined a few things that will come handy in my analysis

Persistent Reserve refers to a set of Small Computer Systems Interface-3 (SCSI-3) standard commands and command options which provide SCSI initiators with the ability to establish, preempt, query, and reset a reservation policy with a specified target device.

lets search on support.microsoft.com for any known issue..found these 2 kb articles..however none of them applies as I am already on sp2 and we are not using local quorum feature of cluster. Then what’s the issue…we are sure it is something to do on storage side on quorum.

911030 A cluster node failover does not work when you use SCSI-3-compliant persistent reservations in Windows Server 2003 SP1

https://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;911030

888160 Cluster is formed by using a local quorum resource after a cluster setup failure in Windows Server 2003

https://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;888160

I went ahead and stopped the cluster service on node 17 and put clusdisk driver on demand in device manager ..so now quorum is not under the control of node 17 but quorum still may have reservation on it which is not getting cleared somehow. Node 16 was still not able to arbitrate quorum and I tried restarting cluster service on node 16 twice but no help. I went back to node 17 ..restored the cluster service and clusdisk driver on demand ….we got our failed cluster online again.

I am now more convinced that this is a storage issue …how to fix my cluster now

One way I can go on storage and see for issues and troubleshoot there..but I dint want to go down to lab where our underlying san storage is present..so I will just change the destination of our quorum from Q:\ to k:\

I stopped the cluster service on node 16 from cluadmin. I had drive K in another group 1 and I moved it to cluster group…..right clicked on cluster name and selected drive k instead of Q for quorum. Restarted cluster service on node 16 and both nodes are up….now I initiated a move group command for cluster group and Bingo!! It moved fine to node 16 . So we know for sure we were having reservation issue on quorum originally and node 16 was unable to clear that reservation.

Server 2003 Cluster service uses Reserve/Release SCSI SPC-2 reservations. Problems with reservations may cause problems with the Cluster service's ability to bring a physical disk resource online. In our case looks like quorum has an active persistent reservation even when node 17 was rebooted and that’s why node 16 was unable to clear it. The Cluster service does not manage persistent reservations. Therefore, the Cluster service cannot directly release or manage a persistent reservation.

If you experience a problem with a persistent reservation, you should contact the storage vendor or SAN administrator to help determine whether a problem exists. Generally, storage vendors have tools that you can use to help identify and change the properties of the storage objects. These tools include a tool to change reservations.
