Hi,
Is it possible to snapshot a Microsoft Cluster on 2 nodes?
I get this message:
Virtual machine is configured to use a device that prevents the snapshot operation: Device '' is a SCSI controller engaged in bus-sharing.
The solution that i find is to stop the inactive node first; but i do not want that.
Anyone has a better solution?
thx.

Re: cannot snapshot ms cluster
Hello Davy, can you snapshot this VM using the VMware Infrastructure Client?

Changing SCSI bus sharing from virtual to none and back
[merged]
I'm trying to come up with a work around to back up a Windows 2008 cluster, with 2 clustered drives.
I am thinking that if I powered off the systems, changed the SCSI Bus Sharing configuration from Virtual to None, made a backup and then reverted back to Virtual sharing, that should work.
However I'm not not sure what the impact would be to the cluster and even if it allowed a backup to be made, what the restore process would be.
Has anyone done something similar or have any suggestions for backing up VMs set up in a Windows cluster?
