Hi, we are having a 2-node fileserver failover cluster based on Windows Server 2012 Datacenter.
We are having 2 roles defined in the cluster, a File server for user data and a Scale-Out File Server for af different HYPER-V Failover cluster.
The problem I have observed is related to the SCFS part. After running for some time (typical 12 to 48 hours) I am no longer able to use the Move-SmbWitnessClient powershell command. Trying to results in the error:
In the SMBWitnessService eventlog I get the following warning (event 12):
Witness Service ignored the move client request for client (****blade0a04). Client is not registered with current Witness Service
I do get a lot of informal events and warnings in the SMBWitnessService eventlog at night while DPM 2012 takes backup of the Hyper-V VMs.
I can manuallu shutdown the SMBWitnessService on both nodes and after a short recovery time the Move-SmbWitnessClient works again.
Has anyone experienced the same?
