garethEds Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Evening All, Due to a recent hardware failure in school I've had to rebuild our P2000 G3 Raid 6 array. I've created the vDisk and created some Volumes and a Quorum volume. I've mapped them with specific LUNS and mapped them to the hosts (both of them). I think I've done it right. I've gone into iSCSI Initiator and connected the server to the target, linked the portals etc and autoconfigured the volumes. Then I've gone to add the disks in Failover Cluster Manager - and it goes wrong. FCM tells me there are no disks. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. I'm missing something and have been looking at this since last week. I've Googled, I've read, I've re-configured the SAN countless times - but nothing is striking me as wrong. Can anyone help? I'm happy to share my screen via Skype for Business if anyone would be willing to take a look whilst I chat them through. Help Gareth
Steve21 Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Aye, have you brought the disk online and formatted it within one host locally first? It won't show option to convert to csv until it's setup on a host individually Steve
garethEds Posted May 23, 2018 Author Posted May 23, 2018 What does disk manager say? Disk manager shows them all. They are all formatted, online and initialised. - - - Updated - - - Aye, have you brought the disk online and formatted it within one host locally first?

They are also formatted. Gareth
garethEds Posted May 23, 2018 Author Posted May 23, 2018 And then brought online on second host too? Steve Ohhhh FFS - that worked. It was there, honest. I deleted it and re-connected. Then suddenly the disks were added. Lucky my kids are in bed as the air is blue. Something so simple that I should have picked up on. Cannot believe it. Sorry everyone - I'm going to go and close my Edugeek account now. Gareth 1
Steve21 Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 It can get itself in a twist sometimes as I think officially you're supposed to map the drives and format them before even making a cluster so it pulls info across while it's doing it might be worth re running the cluste validated just to check it's picked it up ok Steve
