In an environment which consists of web servers running IIS6.0 and Server2003
with the web content stored remotely on a clustered SAN device, I need to set
up remote IIS logging to a folder where the web developers can access the
logs within their share. I did so and this works fine using
\\SERVERNAME\SHARENAME\FOLDER but the problem is that if the cluster group is
moved from one server to another or if it fails over, the logging will no
longer work.
I attempted to use the cluster resource name, which is pingable from the web
server, but I get the error "UNABLE TO CREATE LOG FILE
\CLUSTERNAME\SHARENAME\FOLDER MAKE SURE THAT THE LOGGING DIRECTORY IS CORRECT
AND THIS COMPUTER HAS WRITE ACCESS TO THAT DIRECTORY"
If I switch it back to the server name of the active server in the cluster,
it works fine again. Has anyone else encountered this issue and is the only
solution to write to the server name and hope it doesn't fail over? Thanks
for any feedback.
