MS Cluster not failing over with hard shutdown

Hi,

I just installed 2 nodes cluster for a test, I am using a trial version (3.5.4)

If I do a Graceful shutdown in the active node, the other node becomes active
If I do a Hard shutdown in the active node, the other node doesn´t become active


In the starwind log I saw: 2/13 14:25:39.306 db4 PR: Std: S[4] ScsiOp 0x28 - Reservation conflict.

I already tried to change the following parameter in StarWind.cfg and I restarted the service:
from <iScsiPingPeriod value="0"/>
to <iScsiPingPeriod value="5"/>

But the cluster service doesn't go up and I have to wait some minutes to force a start up ... and then It works.

Is there something to fix it ?

Best Regards

Romanek

Hello Romanek,

Please download and install the latest version (just released) of StarWind 4.0 http://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwin ... -iscsi-san

Reinstall the application and let us know whether or not the problem still persists.

Thanks,
Rob

Hi Rob,

I installed this last version and I returned the default value (<iScsiPingPeriod value="0"/>) and It is working perfect !

Thank you for your help !!
