I have 2 servers in a Win 2000 cluster (Active/Passive)
controlling access to shared drives on an HP MSA1000 disk
array. For end users, access to the shared disks is via
the cluster name/ip address and so users are able to
access the shared disks in the same way no matter which
Server is Active.
Without clustering in place windows has issues with files
on the shared drives and can give out a corruption error
message when the files are accessed.
I have 2 shared drives on the disk array, Q: and R:. Each
is on its own disk volume . However I am seeing different
handling of these drives which I cannot explain.
R: drive is only accessible as a local drive from the
server which is currently Active and the corresponding
disk volume can only be seen in the Disk Management tool
from the Active node.
Q: drive on the other hand is accessible from both the
Active and passive servers of the cluster and its volume
is visible in the Disk Management tool of both servers.
I am unable to use Q: drive safely as it is and risk
encountering corruptions.
Any ideas ?
