We are running a Microsoft NT 4.0 cluster with more than enough resources all around. The other day one of our admins deleted a shared directory(not realizing that it was a cluster resource) which in turn caused several error messages related to this. However, the other server went into checkdisk /f after the deletion. Did the cluster just freak out thinking that it needed to repair the disk or was this just a coincidence? To recover after checkdisk, we had to recreate the directory and share. We are not going to test this theory by deleting the share again!

Hi, when you have an Cluster installed, forget all about normal Nt Administring !
There are many things diffrent in an Cluster environment. If you delete a clustered ressource on one node manually, it doesn?t matter what, the other node takes over.Because the Ressource Monitor recognize an fault an there for initates an failover.
All clusterd ressource had to manged by the Clusteradministration Programm.

Regards
