Description
Error Message
n/a
Cause
Unable to create a complete new VMDG resource in MSCS clustering service groups.
Wizard starts but does not show the Disk Group you want to add in the drop down on the Volume Manager Disk Group Parameters screen.
This scenario is possible if either of the prerequisites are not met.
Resolution
Please confirm that the disk group you are trying to import is a "Cluster Dynamic Disk Group" but not a "Secondary Dynamic Disk Group". Refer to the Administrator's Guide Chapter 5 for more details
Please make sure the Cluster Dynamic Disk Group you want to add is imported. If it is imported on NodeA, please confirm that the target Cluster Group is owned by the same node that has the disk group imported. Even if your Cluster Group was newly created, is empty or offline, it would still have an owner.
Once these things have been confirmed and you are still not able to see the Cluster Disk Group, please refer to the related documents section for details on how to register Storage Foundation for Windows resource types in the Microsoft Cluster environment.
