DOCUMENT:Q236013 04-FEB-2000 [iis] TITLE :IIS Clustered Sites Do Not Failover When Debugging Inetinfo.exe PRODUCT :Internet Information Server PROD/VER:winnt:5.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Internet Information Services version 5.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== When you debug Inetinfo.exe on a node in a Windows 2000 cluster and the debugger is tripped, the node will not failover. The second node will not start and no Web sites will be available. CAUSE ===== The IIS cluster resources stop responding when they attempt to set the SERVER_STATE metabase property after a failure is detected. If a resource stops responding, it keeps the cluster service from bringing the site online on the other node. WORKAROUND ========== To work around this problem, do one of the following: - End the debug session. -or- - Remove the Windows 2000 computer from the network through the network cable.
