DR Cluster in a bit of a pickle
Posted: Mon Sep 06, 2021 10:51 am
Hi All, I have the free version of Starwind built as a DR / Test cluster.
Last week (as luck would have it while I was on holiday) we had a problem with the UPS that the servers were connected to and a total power outage.
I've fired up both servers and whilst HAImage1 says it is synchronizing and now up in the cluster, my HAImage2 which was my Quorum disk still has a red flag on it and it advises it is not synchronized.
HAImage2 is only a 1GB so I'm not sure why it isn't or if it's waiting for HAImage1 to complete it's synchronization...
Lots of the posts I've read tell me to right click the device and mark it as synchronized... I suspect because I'm on a free licence that option isn't available to me in any case I can't see it.
Is there anything I can do to get it sorted ? Some magic Powershell command ?
Given that both boxes would have gone down together I can't see a whole lot of synchronizing needs to take place but I'm at a bit of a loss.
thanks in advance,
Paul.
