Erroneous "Pending System Reboot" SCC result...

#1

I am installing a SQL 2005 active/active cluster. The system consistency
checker is reporting that a "pending system restart" is needed, but I have
restarted multiple times on both nodes.

because of this, I am unable to failover the SQL instance to the node that
had the SCC error detected. Is there something I can do to correct this
erroneous reporting of a pending restart?

Thanks very much
Chris

Check the Registry for the following:

1- run regedit
2- go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager
3- Do you see a "PendingFileRenameOperations" key? if so, delete it.
4- You need to check this on both nodes

Usually, rebooting the server should clear the PendingFileRenameOperations
key but just double check if it still exist.
