Hi, all...

 

I have the following cluster:

2 x R610, Windows Server 2008 R2, each with one 2-port 6Gb SAS HBA card

1 x MD3220 DAS with 2 controllers

 

I have set up the cluster fine (this is my 3rd using MD3xxx boxes), failover is working properly, etc.  The problem arises when I try to use Cluster Shared Volume to set up a HA Virtual Machine.  I can add a disk to Cluster Shared Volumes in the Cluster Manager, but it does not behave like a CSV should.  It is only accessible from one node at a time. 

Does anyone know if the MD32xx DAS models support CSVs?  I have not found any info either way, but all the Microsoft documentation says that using a DAS should work fine.  The only 'problem' I can find (using Google) with MD32xx DAS models and CSV is in reference to problems with VSS provider and backups.  Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
