Is there a way to merge two blocks of free capacity in a disk group?

yellowsysengineer WS08 R2 and the MD3000i 8 Nov 16 2009, 8:06 PM EST by Gabriel_Vos

I have a couple of R805s and the MD3000i.

We had problems getting the clustering/failover to work properly a few months back, and opted to wait for R2 (live migration, no need for seperate LUNs, etc). We have a few VMs running nicely on a WS08 RTM host (the first R805) stored on the md3000i.

Now that we've received the media for R2 (and the latest R805 bios supports it), i've installed it on the second R805 we have and tried to connect it up WITHOUT any dell drivers, and just using the native iscsi stuff (for testing purposes).

With some fiddling, ive managed to connect it to the san, but it seems things are handled slightly differently as any LUNS that are made available to it show up twice (multipath enabled).

Does anyone know if this is an R2 specific thing, or whether its just because i havent installed any dell drivers for the san?

Dell tech support guided me here, as they said alot of the cutting edge stuff would be done here and they tend to be playing catch up (not expecting any R2 support for quite a while).

techdad Windows 2008 clusters 11 Jul 3 2009, 3:42 AM EDT by Lodovico

We have a md3000i and it works great. I have one problem with a windows 2008 cluster. I try and give one node in the cluster a lun from the md3000i and it will see the lun as offline. I can't bring it online or format the new lun. I am not trying to use it as a shared lun in the cluster but as a local drive. Does it have to do with SCSI-3 Persistent Reservation that is required by windows 2008? Does the md3000i support SCSI-3 Persistent Reservation? Thanks for any advice.
