Dell™ Failover Clusters With Microsoft® Windows Server® 2008 Operating System Important Information Using the Snapshot Virtual Disk Feature of Dell PowerVault™ MD3000 in Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Failover Clustering Snapshot Virtual Disk captures point-in-time images of a virtual disk for backup, testing, or data processing without affecting the contents of the source virtual disk. The Snapshot Virtual Disk can be mapped to the primary node (the node owning the source disk) or the secondary node (the node not owning the source disk). For mounting the snapshot volume to the primary node, turn on the maintenance mode as described in step 1 to step 5. The snapshot volume is in reserved state and thus inaccessible if the maintenance mode for the cluster source disk is not turned on. NOTE: In Windows Server 2008 failover clustering you cannot turn on the maintenance mode for the witness disk. The following steps describe the procedure for configuring snapshot in Windows Server 2008 failover clustering and mapping it to the primary mode: 1 Turn on Maintenance mode on the source cluster disk using the Failover Cluster Management console. a Click Start→ Administrative Tools→ Failover Cluster Management console. b Right-click the disk for which you want to turn on the maintenance mode. c Click More Actions→ Turn On Maintenance Mode for this disk. d Ensure that the status of the disk is listed as Online (Maintenance) in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). 2 If the snapshot is not created, use the PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Manager to create the snapshot of the source disk. 3 Use the Host-to-Virtual Disk Mapping in the PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Manager to assign the Snapshot Virtual Disk created in step 2, to the primary node. 4 Re-scan the disk and use Windows Disk Management to detect the Snapshot Virtu
