We have two MS Exchange 2003 clusters, V01 & V02. Each cluster has two nodes and runs Windows 2003. Ent. Ed, with SnapDrive 4.2.1 and SME 3.2. Looking to upgrade soon but not this week...
We use a 2nd server to verify the backups as the server load is high on the Exchange boxes.
The problem is once the verification has finished the flexclone volumes are sometimes left behind. It is normally just the transaction log volume or the database volume. The problem tends to happen on V01 more frequently and we have completed a bare metal re-install of the cluster nodes to try and resolve the issue. – No success.
There are no events on the Filer logs (FAS3070 cluster) and I have not been able to work out a pattern as to when it happens. The work around is to check the filer each morning for the flexclone volumes and offline / delete them.
Does anyone have any ideas to a possible solution. I have heard ESEUTIL throttling can cause this issue but testing has show the problem happens regardless.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and think about the issue. Any help / ideas welcome.
