An engineer is performing failover testing on an FC-attached, dual-controller SC8000 system. The engineer notes that the customers Windows 2008 R2 servers experience I/O errors. The RHEL and ESX servers experience no problems.
A11 FC HBA timeouts are configured per Dell best practices. The Windows servers that are experiencing issues have had no OS-level configuration changes related to SAN storage. All servers use the same FC fabric.
What is causing the connectivity loss during failover?
A customer has mapped a volume to a Windows 2008 server using two 16 Gb FC paths and two 1 Gb iSCSI paths. The customer needs the traffic to split equally across only the two FC paths without using iSCSI under normal conditions. If the FC network is down, traffic should failover to the iSCSI paths to maintain connectivity.
