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).

Friday Afternoon Help
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
