NAS Cluster RDP / ILO Unable to log in

[John Shaw_6]

I have a clustered pair of b3000 running Powered OS (w2k). Also connected to MSA1000. I am unable to rdp or ilo to log into these servers, and must reboot to get these back.

I also can predict when this is about to happen because when I open windows explorer it takes many minutes to populate the drive letters. The command line is perfect.

Anyone have any ideas?

The slow speed in populating the drives is due to the cluster service (which is usually one of the last services to start), if this is unusually slow then this is probably due to something unrelated. The event log might tell you which service is causing problems. Are you getting any WMI errors, or management agent errors, if so then you will get probs with RDP, regards the iLO, then I'm assuming we are talking about graphical control using B3000 which would also concur.
