    Can't failover resources on Win2k3 Cluster odd IP Address Conflict

    We have a Win2k3 SP1 two node cluster we use as a file server. Two weeks ago
    we had to reboot a node following the reboot of our core network switches.
    We have two resources that we balance between the two nodes of the cluster,
    but after the reboot everything was on Node 1. Noting a performance lag we
    attempted to move the resource to Node 2, however the IP resource failed
    citing there was an IP Address conflict and gave us the MAC address, which
    turned out to be the MAC address for Node 2.

    We are able to move the Cluster resource (Cluster IP, Name, Quorum) to Node
    2, but both of the File Server resources won't move and give us this same
    problem.

    Now all the times we tried moving resources Veritas Netbackup was backing up
    the File Server resources. Could the running backups be preventing us from
    bouncing a resource from Node 1 to Node 2, or could I have another issue?
    Keep in mind this cluster is about 2 years old and this is the first time
    we've had this issue.

    Here is one of the errors:
    Event Type: Error
    Event Source: Tcpip

    The MAC Address displayed is for Node 2.

    Sure thing, also it turned out not to be Netbackup's fault as we attempted to
    move the File Server Resource when it was not running.

    Here is the layout:

    Node 0 - 10.1.20.65 This is the Cluster Management IP
    Node 1 Main - 10.1.20.67
    Node 1 Heartbeat - 10.1.40.115
    Node 1 iSCSI - 10.1.40.114
    Node 2 Main - 10.1.20.69
    Node 2 Heartbeat - 10.1.40.116
    Node 2 iSCSI - 10.1.40.117
    FileServer 1 - 10.1.20.74
    FileServer 2 - 10.1.20.165

    The nodes connect to the shared storage via iSCSI. It's not the best
    configuration and was actually before my time.

    We've had this for a few years and before the Switch Maintanence a few weeks
    ago we've never had a problem moving FileServer 1 and FileServer 2 from Node
    to Node. Also the Cluster Resource (Node 0 name and IP and the quorum) have
    no problem moving between Node 1 and Node 2.

    I'm now wondering if something is wrong on the switch side, it's been a
    weird problem. The Cluster.log file does tells me little much either.

    These lines are the only places I see issues:

    2008/10/23-08:16:58.481 WARN [ClNet] Tcpip is not bound to adapter
    A3688E05-4B26-4717-9348-BBA01806D352.

    - and later -

    seems to me that you have a double IP address somewhere in your network

    this is what you do
    1) offline the whole group "FileServer1" (this will offline its IP address
    as well)
    2) try to ping 10.1.20.74.... if it responds, then *some* other machine in
    your network is using the same IP

    If an address conflict occurs, the responding system may send out another ARP request for the same address, forcing the other systems on the subnet to update their caches again. Windows NT does this when it detects a conflict with an address that it has successfully registered. For more information on the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) as discussed in RFC 826, you may obtain a copy on the Internet from the following source:
