This applies only to Windows server that are not part of a Failover cluster.
This test case fails if:
The SAN policy is not Online
.
This test case passes if:
The SAN policy is Online
.
How-to fix this test
Automatic fix
This test uses the Partition Manager APIs to set the SAN policy to Online
.
Manual fix
This behavior can be changed by the diskpart
utility, see relevant documentation on TechNet. In the diskpart utility, the SAN policy is called OnlineAll
, and not Online
This will cause Windows Failover Cluster Validation tests to fail. SAN policy must be set to offlineshared along with 'automount' set to enabled.
