Hi.

Is possible to change ClusterFaultDomain(in windows 2019) after create cluster. ?

Because i fount information that it's recommend to create that fault domains (chassis, rack, site etc. ) before creation s2d cluster.  And create s2d cluster creator ask me if i want user that fault domains. But what if i have already operational cluster and i want to change ClusterFaultDomain from node to rack ?

Hello .

I have S2d Cluster on Windows 2019, with 2 nodes.  Each node have connected 2 JBOD-s, So in Failover cluster Manager i have 4 enclosures. How i should setup my cluster to be  sure  that data will be spread between JBODS connected to different nodes. So in situation when 1 node goes down (with them 2 enclosures) all volumes are operational. 


Server 2012 R2 File Server Stops Responding to SMB Connections

$

Hi There,

Massive shot in the dark here but I am struggling with a pretty major issue atm.  We have a production file server that is hosted on the following:

Dell MD 3220i -> iSCSI -> Server 2008 R2 Hyper-v Cluster -> Passthrough Disk -> Server 2012 R2 File Server VM

Essentially 3 times now, roughly a month or so apart.  The file server stops accepting connections.  During this time, the server is perfectly accessible through rdp or with a simple ping.  I can browse the files on the server directly but no-one appears to be able to access the shares over SMB.  A reboot of the server fixes the issue.  

As per a KB article I removed nod antivirus from the server to rule out a conflicting filter mode driver after the second fault.  Sadly yesterday it happened again.

The only relevant errors in the servers log files are:

SMB Server Event ID 551

SMB Session Authentication Failure Client Name: \\192.168.105.79 Client Address: 192.168.105.79:50774 User Name: HHS\H6-08$ Session ID: 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF Status: Insufficient server resources exist to complete the request. (0xC0000205) Guidance: You should expect this error when attempting to connect to shares using incorrect credentials. This error does not always indicate a problem with authorization, but mainly authentication. It is more common with non-Windows clients. This error can occur when using incorrect usernames and passwords with NTLM, mismatched LmCompatibility settings between client and server, duplicate Kerberos service principal names, incorrect Kerberos ticket-granting service tickets, or Guest accounts without Guest access enabled

and

SMB Server event ID 1020
File system operation has taken longer than expected.

Client Name: \\192.168.105.97
Client Address: 192.168.105.97:49571

Share Name: \\*\Subjects
File Name: 
Command: 5
Duration (in milliseconds): 176784
Warning Threshold (in milliseconds): 120000

Guidance:

The underlying file system has taken too long to respond to an operation. This typically indicates a problem with the storage and not SMB.

I have checked the underlying disk/iscsi/network hyper-v cluster for any other errors or issues, but as far as I can tell everything is fine. 

Is it possible that something else is left over from the NOD antivirus installation?  

Looking for suggestions on how to troubleshoot this further.

Thanks

Hello,

I have a 2 node S2D cluster with 6 CSVs - 3 per node (Windows Server 2019 DC on both nodes) where I would like to swap out the 4TB disks with 8TB disks without blowing it away. Is that something that is supported (I understand there is a risk of data loss at all times), but is there any MS documentation on this and how it should be performed? How can we achieve this?


Thank you!


Windows 10 cannot access file share on one server, but on too others

$

Hi!

My configuration is like this:

One Windows 10 pro computer (work client)

One physical server running Windows Server 2016 Standard, with two Hyper-V computers,

one running Windows Server 2016 Standard and one running Windows Server 2012.

My problem is, since I rebooted the physical server, I can no longer access the file shares of the physical server.

The work client is able to access both of the Hyper-V servers file shares. The 2012-server is though able to access the physical server's file share.

The physical server is showing up in network discovery, is ping-able from all computers.

I have read through plenty of entires, but have found none of them successful. What could be the problem?

Best regards,

Jonatan

I have two Windows 2016 NAS servers running DFS replication. I need to apply Windows patches to each server. I have experienced corruption of the database journal in the past either due to a previous Windows patching or a reboot of one of the NAS servers for another issue. What is the best practice for patching the servers. Do I stop the DFS service, other services, etc? 

Thanks,

Hi,

I want to create a storagepool from a bunch af VHD's but I dont' know how to select the disks in the powershell command

What I did:

- New-VHD -Path d:\vhd\disk1.vhdx -SizeBytes 100GB | Mount-VHD (also did this for disk 2 up to 6)

Now I want to create a storagepool with powershell and only use disk 1, 3 and 5

If I use get-physicaldisk it returns me the name of my real physical disk and 6 disks with a friendlyname of "Msft Virtual Disk"

How do I know what is disk1 3 and 5 if all these names are the same ?

Hello all,

Within the past 2 days, we starting experiencing trouble with one of our shared volumes going into a paused state. This error messages constantly occurs every 10 seconds. I tried researching what "c000026e" means but couldn't find an explication for that error code. Can anyone assist? 

Environment

1x Failover Cluster used for Scale-Out File Servers
2x Nodes (server 2012 R2)
36x Disk (Cluster Shared Volumes)
6x known "offline" disk

Event ID 5120

Cluster Shared Volume 'Volume27' ('JetStor DIT-JS-E2-B2-01') has entered a paused state because of '(c000026e)'. All I/O will temporarily be queued until a path to the volume is reestablished.

Hi,

I am transferring files from a Windows 2008 R2 servers to a Server 2019 server. It transfers about 6,000 files, then stops with this error:  Check if the source device is online - we couldn't access it.

I have rechecked the prerequisites and they are fine.

I am a domain admin, and in the local admin group on both servers.

The 2019 server is build is 10.0.17763.

From the event log:

Couldn't transfer all of the files in the endpoint on the computer.

Job: Jobname
Computer: source computer
Destination Computer: computer
Endpoint: something

Succeeded File Size in KB: 0
New File Count: 0
New File Size in KB: 0
Failed File Count: 0
Error: 40961
Error Message: Transfer failed

Guidance: Check the detailed error and make sure the transfer requirements are met. This could be because the orchestrator computer couldn't reach a source or destination computer, possibly due to a firewall rule, or missing permissions.

Any help would be appreciated!

Workfolders issues

Hi all,

Since the most recent official Windows 10 update (1803 April update) I'm experiencing some issues.

* In explorer, some pictures get thumbnails, some don't (as seen in the figure). Tried deleting the thumbnail cache but that doesn't help.

* The Photos app doesn't sync pictures from the WorkFolders anymore, and doens't show thumbnails anymore for videos.

* In exlporer the icons for 'Download state' aren't correct. Some folders have a 'Failed sync' icon, but all the files inside are downloaded correctly.

A clean install of the client operating system doesn't help. Anyone else experiencing these issues? Is a fix available soon?

S2D - hot spares

$
0
0

Hi,

I am planning a 2-node S2D cluster. I think I'm all set in terms of configuration but one thing I'm not sure about is hot spares.

Obviously these are set at the pool level rather than the tier, so if I wanted hot-spares for both capacity and cache disks, does that just happen; if I assign 2 SSDs as spares, will they only be spares for the fast tier?

I'm thinking 16 capacity disks + 2 spares and 4 cache disks + 2 spares per node. 24 total.

Or am I going mad even thinking about this? Is it totally unneccessary for fast tiers?

Thanks


Is it possible to have a "hot spare" in Storage Spaces Direct storage pool?

$

Dear sir,

Very sorry for disturbing you.

I am running three-way mirror volume on 3-node Storage Spaces Direct cluster. If one drive failed in 2-way mirror, the failed copy will be rebuilt automatically on a different drive on a different server.

However, for my three-way mirror volume, the failed copy is not rebuilt automatically on a different server (since I don't have 4th node).

Only one thing that I can do is to replace a new disk. Then the volume come back to "healthy" again.

In this case, may I ask, is it possible to define a "hot spare" in Storage Spaces Direct? so I don't need to replace the failed disk with a new disk manually (for three-way mirror in 3-node S2D cluster)?

Thank you very much in advance!

Poor performance on storage spaces 2019

$

Hello everyone. I've been doing some testing of a planned implementation and ran into an issue with Storage Spaces on WS2019. The issue lies in the performance of Tiered Storage on WS2019, it's a complete disaster. With thoughs about a possibility of doing something wrong, I made a decision to built the same configuration on WS2016 and managed to get decent results.
What was the hardware i used? The configuration was based on a:
Single DELL R540 chassis with 2x 4110 (2.1G, 8C/16T), 64GB of RAM, a Perc H730 (configured in HBA mode), 2x 480GB SSD SATA Mixed Use, 3 x 2TB 7.2 RPM NLSAS.
Which WS builds were used? WS2016 Datacenter build 14393 and WS2019 Datacenter build 17763.
How was the tiered storage configured? Virtual volume with simple resiliency, fixed provisioning, NTFS, 4096 allocation unit size creaatod on top of 2x storage tiers - 4x 480GB SSD, 3x HDD 2TB, both with parity layout.
How did i come to the conclusion? I tested 4k and 64k blocks, both random and sequential reads/writes by using the DiskSpd utility with the following paramaters – 8 threads, 16 Number of IO, test file size - 50, duration - 60 sec, warmup - 5 sec.

Results of the tests:

https://imgur.com/a/NHpIBfM

So, to make my consern clear, I need to understand if it is the known issue or did I do something wrong, or does my configuration needs to be modified in some kind of way. Any help will be greatly appreciated.


KB4503276 Disconnects Mac clients connecting to SMB File Shares

$

After installing KB4503276 on June 12, 2019, our Mac clients can no longer connect to SMB file shares on our Windows 2012 R2 server. Mac clients at our company regularly mount SMB volumes from the server onto their Mac desktops in order to access files stored on the server. Please observe that this problem has been noted as a product alert to its customers (such as our company) by Kodak, Inc. on June 12, 2019, and it also pertains to KB4503292 on Windows 2880 R2 servers; see their knowledgebase Answer ID 74519, quoted below.

"After installing Windows 2008 R2 KB4503292 update or Windows 2012 R2 KB4503276, macOS client users will be unable to connect to any SMB file share on the Windows server."

Link to the full alert article at Kodak: https://services.kodak.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/74519

As a graphic arts customer using Kodak-supplied software we received the abovementioned product alert and followed Kodak's recommendation to uninstall the update, after which our SMB file shares were again useable by Mac clients.

Volume goes offline error StorageSpaces-Driver_eventID: 312

$

Hello

I administer a Hyper-v Windows 2016 Server. The data virtual volume (containing the VMs) went offline twice in the last week.

When the error occurs, incidentally the volume is offline  (i.e. in Disk Management),

Rebooting the server brings it back up gracefully, with the storage online and perfectly usable.

get-virtualdisk shows healthy and get-physicaldisk shows healthy for every disk in the storage pool.

We got

error           08.09.2017 00:09:37   StorageSpaces-Driver eventID: 312                

error on virtual disk "{043afeb2-e102-45f2-937c-df53b68c2289}" on writing in all copies.                 

and

warning   08.09.2017 00:09:37   Disk             51               

An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk6\DR6.during a paging operation.

This is the virtual volume.


The problem exists on the data volume, containing the VMs. We use 4 disks. 2SSDS and 2 harddisks as tiered storage with storage layout as mirror. This contains 1 Virtual volume (ReFS formatted)

The hardware seems healthy and I thought that the mirror configuration should prevent from going offline if an error occurs in one of the disks.

Do you have any hint what to do? or to further investigate the error?

Thank you very much

Michael


 

Issues Restoring a Redirected Folders Share / Offline Files Cache Wipe

$
0

Gurus, I'm really hoping someone can help here.  Here's the setup and situation.

Setup:

  • 2008 R2 Windows File server with Folder Redirection enabled
  • Windows 7 and Windows 10 clients, with offline file synchronization enabled on Desktop and Documents folders

Situation:

  • File server died horribly, drive is not recoverable
  • Backup server also died horrible, drive is not recoverable (yes, perfect storm)
  • All clients still have usable data in the local CSC cache

What we need:

  • We have tested a million different ways on how to re-create the folder redirection share on the same server, with the same share name, and same share/ntfs permissions.  Every time we try, the users local cache gets wiped.  Microsoft support states this is likely, and that there is no way around this.  They even tested in their lab and found the same result

We have tried the following:

  • Verify old and new share name setting here: https://www.windows-security.org/e59b0f1f86c9fe881735664b289bb68c/verify-old-and-new-folder-redirection-targets-point-to-the-same
  • Disabling "move contents to new location" on GPO
  • Setting permissions exactly as they were
  • Changing "SyncConflictHandling" to always favor the client (setting of 1) per this article: https://stealthpuppy.com/configuring-an-automatic-resolution-policy-for-offline-files-in-windows-7/

Regardless of what we try, the client always wipes the CSC cache when the share is re-created.  Is there any way around this?  Of course we can have the users back up their data and then move it back, but this is very destructive and we would prefer not to take chances that someone forgets or makes a mistake.  

What is troubling is that under normal circumstances when a user creates a file while offline and then connects to the network and syncs, the file uploads to the server (expected behavior) rather than deleting itself from the client.  So why should this be any different?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.  We are pulling our hair out!
