Mixed multipath I/O configuration

hi all, i've windows 2008r2 physical server uses luns exposed iscsi storage via multipath io. the storage supports both iscsi , fc connections, want migrate iscsi connections fc. @ given time, can expose lun windows server both in iscsi , fc? servers sees same lun 4 paths? (2 iscsi , 2 fc)? it better shutdown server, disconnect iscsi, connect fc , reboot? hi you better close services use lun, disconnect iscsi lun, close server , connect fc. thats simplest , safier path take. thanks mcp | mcts - exchange 2007, configuring | member of technet wiki community council | french moderator on technet wiki (translation widget) Windows Server  >  Windows Server General Forum

which one takes precedence at last ? persistent mode server or preferred owner server ?

hi all in failover cluster 2008 r2 , on properties of clusterd service ( example file server ) , there 2 parameters : 1 ) persistent mode : failover runs on last running server 2 ) preferred owner : tme server online , server handles cluster ? what ridiculous confusion exist here in interface , microsoft hasn't mentioned ! so 1 takes precedence @ last ? persistent mode server or preferred owner server ? thanks in advance hi, i believe preferred owner takes precedence on persistent mode default owner if both set. see " note if group’s preferred owners defined, preferred owners take precedence on default owner.   the default owner behaves if last preferred owner—the group placed there if not placed on of preferred owners." http://blogs.msdn.com/b/clustering/archive/2009/08/11/9864574.aspx   sean massey | consultant, iunite feel free contact me through blog or twitter . please click mark answer button if post solves problem!
