MS Cluster Resource Problem

[Former Member]

Dear Experts

I am trying to do High Availability Installation on MSCS , and im in the stage that trying to create Central Services Instance for ABAP (ASCS) , but when i did and im trying to start the FileServer resource i face the following error:

Cluster resource 'SAPPRD' (resource type '', DLL 'clusres.dll') either crashed or deadlocked. The Resource Hosting Subsystem (RHS) process will now attempt to terminate, and the resource will be marked to run in a separate monitor.

The cluster resource host subsystem (RHS) stopped unexpectedly. An attempt will be made to restart it. This is usually due to a problem in a resource DLL. Please determine which resource DLL is causing the issue and report the problem to the resource vendor.

i have tried almost everything even destroying the cluster and the uninstallating the fail over cluster manager feature

please advice what can i do??

thanks

Hi,

Download the latest NTCLUST.SAR from the market place and update as follows and try.

stop the Cluster service

1. Copy the SAP archiving tool SAPCAR into the same directory or make sure that it is accessible from the command line.

2. Open a command prompt and extract the NTCLUST.SAR archive with the following command: sapcar -xvf "NTCLUST.SAR"

3. From the NTCLUSTER subdirectory, copy the following files to %windir%\system32

saprc.dll

saprcex.dll

sapclus.dll

insaprct.exe

4. Start insaprct.exe from the %windir%\system32 directory to re-register the DLLs
