Hi, I have just had to rebuild a node in a 2-node cluster after several disks in the raid array failed. We had to completely re-initialise the system,. I installed w2k and then restored the system drive and system state from a recent backup using backup exec 8.6. When the system rebooted there was a problem with the network config which had not been restored and also the cluster service would not start. I reconfigured the network card/ip address etc but found that the cluster reg keys under hklm had not been recovered even though the registry had been restored. I do not really understand why this should be. Any comments or pointers would be much appreciated.
Sounds like your backup software did not restore properly. Have you tried restoring the system state to the broken node(s)? Did you try one node at a time? What errors do you get in the event log?
