The san is an HP MSA
no snapshots, its windows thats reporting no space
it looks like its because the drive is with 10% of being full and the
fact thats its compressed.
as there is a number of drives in use on the SAN but its only the
compressed drive that is giging any trouble.

What brand of SAN? Who reports the loss of disc space?
Is it windows or the SAN? Does the SAN make snapshots that take a lot of
space (old gets removed after new is finnished?)

Hi ,
Have a strange one here...
We have Exchange 2003 running on 2 server in a cluster :
server A holds the exchange roles and cluster groups
Server B holds a huge data drive that holds PST files
Both servers attach to a fibre channel SAN for the drives
We are getting the Data drive reporting that no space is available when
their is 21 GB available.
When I fail the data drive to server A the drive appears and shows the
full 21 GB free and all is well again.
If I fail back the drive will also be fine.
It is reporting no space randomly.
Against my better judgment the Drive was compressed quite a while ago
but then more space was added from the free space available on the SAN.
Not sure if this last piece of info is relevant.
Any ideas were to even start as there doesn't seem to be any information
in the event logs.
thanks in advance
Ronnie
