Duplicate Network Name Resource / Online Pending

[Guest Ryan Hanisco]

I have a cluster group in which a Network Name was created that was a

duplicate of another Network Name Resource. This failed one resource group

and put the other in online pending.

 

I cannot get the cluster administrator to open and the commend prompt will

not let me fail the groups, delete the resource, or do much of anything.

 

Suggestions?

Try open the cluster administrator from the start/run command by typing

"cluadmin ." (sans quotes)

Please note the <space><dot> after cluadmin

Thanks, Edwin.

 

The issue I was having was that the Cluster Administrator would start, but

would hang when enumerating the groups and resources in the cluster so I

would just see a white screen. I was seeing this hang with cluster group and

cluster res as well.

 

Luckily, I remembered the names of the groups and resources. It would not

allow me to delete resources or take groups offline, but as one of the

duplicately-named resources was locked, cluster res <resource name>

/rename:<New Name> did work and changed the name of one of the resources.

Once that was done, I had to tell it to bring the two problematic groups

online (Cluster group <group> /on) and the cluster came back moments later.

 

Thanks again,
