Clients May Receive Access Denied Error (174940)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition 4.0
- Microsoft Cluster Server
This article was previously published under Q174940 SUMMARY
If you create a File Share resource within a group using Microsoft Cluster
Server, it is important to establish a dependency with a physical disk
resource. If the physical disk resource is on the shared SCSI bus and a
failure occurs without the dependency, clients may receive the following
error:
Access Denied
MORE INFORMATION
The File Share resource type requires a dependency on a network name so the
share may be registered on the network. The resource does not place a
mandatory requirement on a physical disk resource that corresponds to a
device on the shared SCSI bus. This allows the use of other forms of
storage under special circumstances. This may include local storage for
nonvolatile data in which the same data exists on both nodes. Third-party
data solutions may also fall into this category.
If you use a device on the shared SCSI bus for a share's data storage and
do not establish a dependency between the File Share resource and the
Physical Disk, clients may receive access denied errors or other errors
caused by a brief failure of the device. This condition may be temporarily
resolved by manually taking the File Share resource offline and then
returning it to online status. If you establish the dependency first, this
manual step is not necessary and the condition does not occur. For best
results when storing data on a device managed by a Physical Disk resource,
establish a dependency for the resources that rely on the data source.
