Remote File Share

-

we using windows clustering on windows server 2003 sp2.  of file share resources configured on local drive.  have share on server create on cluster.

for example:  server (node 1) , server b (node 2) make our cluster.  have created share on server c add file share resource on server a/b cluster.  created file share resource cluster administrator, when attempted bring on-line, failed shut down many of other resources in same cluster group.

here how configured resource:

1.  created file share on server c , set appropriate permissions (i gave full control user on cluster).

2.  in cluster group (the default group of other shares located), right-clicked , added new resource.

3.  gave name, description, , selected file share resource type.

4.  clicked next , left default possible owners both nodes on server a/b cluster.

5.  clicked next , did not create dependencies.

6.  clicked next , entered share name.

7.  entered path path share on server c (e.g. \\serverc\e$\shared\sharedfolder)

the resource created, mentioned above, failed start , took other resourced in group off-line.

 

i did not create on of clusters local physical disks.  can i/how create file share resource on cluster when share located on server not part of cluster?

 

tia,

jack

 

hi jack,

i think not possible trying here :-(

cause....

all cluster nodes should able "own" physical ressource therefore share must created on shared disk within cluster.

"....can i/how create file share resource on cluster when share located on server not part of cluster?..."

my answer here be, no :-)
