Default Re: Cluster service is attempting to failover the cluster resource - 03-16-2010 , 07:07 AM






cluster service account, what rights do they require?

I was on the impression they need to belong too local admin group and server
operator group
Is this correct..?

sure...Can you elaborate more onhow would you move all the disk resources
example, go to resources, select the disks etc etc

Are there other options to check failover other than manual failovers//

Se what triggers a failover and what does not.

Clustering alone will not give you High Availability. You need People
and
Process to complement the Technology.

what do you recommend for failover scenarios

"Geoff N. Hiten" wrote:

If a node is in shutdown, it will not accept new groups.

If a network switch fails and the cluster is segmented, no failover
occurs
since (a) the cluster cannont communicate the failover requests and
(b)
there is no node that can accept support the IP address
resource(s).

In short, it appears the cluster is behaving normally.

You definitely need to test your failover scenarios before putting
the
system into production so you know what failures are capable of
being
handled by clustering.

Hvent done that. Need to do this during the maintenance window.

To test the failover this was carried out

Attempted to fail over from node 2 to node 1. Failover is
unsuccessful.

Both Nodes were shutdown. Node 2 started first. The node 1 was
started.
SQL
Databases is now le on node 2.

SQL Server ENT V9.00 4035.00
Windows server 2003 R2 ENT

Well there was a issue with the switch that was conncected to the
NIC
cards
and should have failed over to another node.

Are you able to move any group from node to node?

If so, then which group will not move?

Also, please advise which versions of SQL and Windows you are
using.

The SQL cluster is not failover over to another node. Can
anyone
shed
some
light in to this. I have checked the config on the cluster
administrator
side
and it all seems correct to me. The event id appeared is 1153
event
source:
clussvc.
In theory the cluster is not working if a disaster happens. A
manual
reboot
is required to bring everything up to normal. Please advise.

the cluster service account, what rights do they require to authenticate
against a domain controller

if not please update me

Clustering in Windows 2008/2008 R2 does not require service accounts. The
Clustering service is automatically set up to run under the machine's
Network Service account. This is automatic and does not require any
additional setup steps.
