IIS 6.0: IIS_switch.bat Does Not Upgrade IIS Resource in Default Cluster Group (332105)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Information Services
- Microsoft Internet Information Services version 6.0
This article was previously published under Q332105 SYMPTOMS When you run the IIS_switch.bat file during the upgrade of
a Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS) cluster that contains Internet Information
Services (IIS) from Microsoft Windows 2000 to Windows Server 2003, you may
receive the following error message: Group "Cluster Group"
will be ignored. Group contains an IIS server instance, which is not supported.
CAUSEThis problem occurs because the IIS resource is defined in
the default cluster group. MORE INFORMATIONMicrosoft does not recommend that you put other resources in
the default cluster group. This configuration might affect the availability of
the whole cluster. If IIS fails, it causes the group to fail.
The
default cluster group typically contains the quorum disk. During failover of
the quorum disk, the whole cluster is in a transition state and other failovers
cannot occur because they are queued waiting for quorum disk to come back
online.
Having other applications writing to the quorum disk can
potentially fill the quorum disk and will make the cluster
unavailable.RESOLUTIONTo resolve the error and continue the upgrade, follow these
steps:
- Delete the IIS resource from the default cluster
group.
For more information about how to delete the resource, see the
documentation (also included with Windows Server 2003) at the following
Microsoft Web site: - Create a new cluster group for the IIS
resource.
For more information about how to create a new cluster, see
the documentation (also included with Windows Server 2003) at the following
Microsoft Web site: - Add the IIS resource to the new group.
For more
information about how to add a resource, see the documentation (also included
with Windows Server 2003) at the following Microsoft Web site: - Run IIS_switch .bat

running the IIS_switch.bat file and about upgrading a cluster, see the
