Thanks for the input Jeff
Unfortunately the servers are using
Microsoft cluster, not sure whether you get the sae functionality.
One cluster failed over as one of the
nodes was hit, however on our other cluster both nodes where taken out, not a
good situation.

If you put your drives in as
“critical” resources for the cluster and they suddenly
couldn’t be accessed due to an incommunicative Library it makes sense the
cluster would fail over. We mistakenly did this with some
filesystems early on in our Development cluster. We had multiple
environments on the cluster and when we unmounted one of the filesystems for
one environment it failed the entire cluster over. Veritas Cluster
lets you mark which items are “critical” to the cluster.
(e.g. the underlying NIC might be but not individual filesystems in the Dev
cluster).

Hi All
Apologies for the dramatic subject.
We are in a crisis situation at the moment and are at a
loss as to what the problems might be .
Scenario , 5.1 MP5 all
Master solaris 8 64 bit
2 X windows 2003 SP1 media servers
2 X windows 2003 Clustered media server.
Using SSO
STK 9940b
We had a drive go down at 14h00 today and it caused 1 of
the standalone media servers and three of the clustered nodes to fall over, all
at once, ouch
Has anyone ever seen this behaviour before or anything
like it ?
Sorry for the lack of info, however am trying to get to
the bottom of this.
Any info or thoughts would be most welcome.
Regards
Dave
