Deploying DFS Replication on 2008 R2 Cluster

[sfaldus]

does starwind support DFS Replication on 2008 R2 Cluster? I always get an error the cluster shared volume isn't online, eventid 9001 an 5078, but the volume is online.

on both cluster members in disk manager th iscsi traget are "reserverd". Must one be online and on reserved?

We have not really tested that, however, I am sure that someone in the community has already done that.

Thanks

By cluster shared volume do you mean CSV, the new feature of R2 failover clustering? Microsoft only support it for storing the VHDs of Hyper-V VMs - nothing else. I don't think you can use DFS to replicate the contents of CSVs, and in any case, you can't use DFS to replicate VHDs, of running VMs at least, because DFS can only replicate files once they are closed. If you are looking to replicate VHDs, maybe you should look at Starwind mirroring?

cheers,
