DL380 G4 Packaged Cluster & RSO

[Plamen Radev]

I am installing a DL380 G4 Packaged Cluster and the Recovery Server Option.

The firmware of the SA-6i controller (except for the latest version) allows enabling of the RSO. The communication through the MSA500 G2, however, could not be started.

With a fresh patched installation of MS Windows 2003 the RSO monitoring could not be installed. I then installed the RSO monitor on a separate Windows 2000 Server and transferred the registry entries to the 2003 Server (except for the "LEGACY_RSO" keys). After rebooting the RSO Agent service starts but reports an error connecting to the SA-6i driver. The primary RSO server displays "no link" to the standby.

Any suggestions?

RSO is not supported with Windows 2003 and the MSA500 G2 and Smart 6i

You should consider using Microsoft Clustering Services
