When I validate my cluster configuration, I got the follwing results:
List All Disks Success
List Potential Cluster Disks Success
Validate Disk Arbitration Failed
Validate SCSI-3 Persistent Reservation Success
My configuration:
1) Two nodes' windows 2008 cluster with a shared FC array.
2) No MPIO is installed.
Cluster log file of one node reports the error "OnlineThread: Unable to
arbitrate for the disk. Error: 1235" and another node's log file reports the
error "ERR [RES] Physical Disk <Cluster Disk 2>: Open: Unable to get disk
identifier. Error: 5023.".
After I create a cluster, I try to bring the FC disk to online and but it
can't be brought online. The failed reason is still the error "OnlineThread:
Unable to arbitrate for the disk. Error: 1235". After my array handled
"register","reserve"of PRO, "read key" of PRI, I don't know why "unregister"
of PRO is received by array.
What is the process of "Disk Arbitration" of Win2k8 cluster service? What
is the cause of above error "OnlineThread: Unable to arbitrate for the disk.
Error: 1235"?
Can any one give some clues for me?
thanks very much.
