Hello,
I'm running a hypervcluster with 2 nodes and 3 external NAS for ISCSI-Storage.
Each node itself has a couple of Disks, which I want to "dedicate" to backups of the vms.
(So each node will make a daily snapshot of the clustered vms)
- The Backup Pool (local one) was created BEFORE Clustering
- The ISCSI Pool was created AFTER Clustering
Now, I'm facing the Issue, that - after every reboot - The local Storage Pool is:
- Added to Storage Pools in Failover Manager
- Set to readonly
- Each Disk is "detached".
So, currently - after restarting a node - I have to:
- go to Failover Manager, remove every detached Disk belonging to the "Backup Pool"
- Remove the Backup Pool Itself
- Run these 2 Powershell commands:
Set-StoragePool -FriendlyName "Backup Pool" -IsReadOnly False Get-VirtualDisk -IsManualAttach $true | Set-VirtualDisk -IsManualAttach $false
- Sometimes also this fails, then I have to go to the Server Manager and manually set the read/write Server to the node actually owning the storage pool.
After performing this Steps, The Storage Pool is operable again.
However:
- It still points out both nodes in the "Available to / Managed by" column
- It still says "StorageSubsystem: Clustered Storage Spaces
How - if possible - can this be fixed, so I get a local, unclustered Storage Pool per Node?
I don't want to wake up one day, beeing in the need of "backups" and figure out, that the most recent backup is 2 weeks old,
cause the backup pool was detached because of some restart...
