i'm running a Active/Active with a back up of Passive/Passive 2 cluster environment. i'm currently running off of my backups and trying to bring back my primaries. the current problem that i'm having now is i can not get my Physical Disk and that group that it is in to go online on NODE A (it fails over when B is off, but all resources are OFFLINE). but what i found weird was that when i leave A off and turn B on, the physical disk that's in its group (aka file group) goes online and the DB group is capable of failing over and be online. is there something in the settings that's been accidently turned off i need to look over? i've tested to see if the physical connection to my external RAID was accessable while Cluster Service was offline on both nodes when Cluster Device was disabled in Computer Manage. i was able to access the physical disks & quorom so i don't think its faulty wiring or cables. and if i forgot to turn on the Cluster Device, then i wouldn't be able to get into Cluster Admin because Cluster Device is has been disabled. but correct me if i'm wrong
why would all NODE B resources be offline when NODE A takes ownership of B resources? i need to check on the cluster.log and see exactly what it says. i will post what i find and append it to this thread when i get to work. any ideas???
