First, I want to state that the configuration has been successfully fielded several times quite recently. Second, the domain in which the configuration is deployed is strictly controlled (Latest patches, strict GPO's, high UAC enabled, etc.). With
that said, I am trying to figure out why this particular installation is receiving an exception when adding file shares to the configured shared drives.
High level steps are:
On both nodes Install Dell PowerVault MD Storage Manager Software
Use Disk Manager to online, rename and organize three disk volumes
Create the Cluster with two servers as member nodes
Establish Raid Disks in the Cluster (select disks, set names and Quorum configuration)
Create the File Server Role (establish the Client Access Point and select RAID drives for storage)
At this point Add File Shares work...
Add resource (Oracle Fail Safe adds standalone DB to the group) which is successful.
At this point Add File Shares failes, after selecting SMB Share - Quick and Next, the Share Location page has the Server but no longer shows any Volume's from the RAID and Type a custom path: is selected but always fails.
Explanations of the exception and what might require fixing appreciated.
