PowerEdge 2950 cluster problems
I have a solution containing 2 Power Edge 2950 servers as 2 nodes cluster operating with windows 2003 server and connected to a shared storage MD3000i via SAS connections. This solution was working correctly since 2009. a small period ago we added new Hdd's to the storage since then Node 2 cannot access the storage and the cluster doesn't fail over and the cluster service is up and running on one Node.
Could you please help. And if this solution is not supported and cannot be fixed could any body help by stating this officially. Or how to get an official statement about this solution to provide to customer.

1- We had empty slots and we added new disks in it with the same P/N as old drives.
2- When I access MDSM there are no alerts at all and the storage is optimal.
3- Yes the Virtual drive shows the correct size on the storage and under the windows on the working node.

Hello shoky1731976,
When you stated that you added new storage did you replace any smaller drives with larger drives or did you have empty slots that you inserted the new drives into? Also when you access MDSM are there any alerts that are showing on the MD3000? If you added the drives in trying to expand a virtual disk to see the newly added space is the virtual disk showing the correct size in MDSM?
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
