Help! I'm trying to set up a file server cluster. Ran a validation and everything checks out. The cluster consists of two virtual machines attached to two iSCSI targets (storage LUN and disk witness LUN).
After setting up the CSV I right-clicked the file server role in the Failover Cluster Manager and added some shares. Things appeared to be ok. However, when I started testing, I noticed that it was taking a long time for clients to reconnect to the shares even after the role moved to the available node. Eventually, all of it seems to stopped working, though the settings look ok:
Role: Running
Cluster Shared Volume: Online
Disk Witness in Quorum: Online
iSCSI: all connected
When I right click the role now, I don't get the "Add file share" option like before. http://imgur.com/DvvE0Er
It should look like this: https://workinghardinit.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/image_thumb27.png?w=653&h=451
When I go to Server Manager > File/iSCSI > and try to go to the properties of any of the shares I created, it times out.
I could be wrong, but when the setup was working, both the Disk Witness and the CSV appeared in My Computer. Now, only the witness shows up, but the CSV is in the C:ClusterStorage\Volume1 which I thought was the right way to do it but something's not right. http://imgur.com/DvvE0Er,hIpFv7C#1
When I go to \cluster-name, the shares show up, but I can't get into any. When I go to \cluster-node-1 or 2, both are empty.
Any ideas are appreciated.
