Hi,
Trying to enable DFS Replication between two guest cluster weith shared disk and the fileserver role.
Installed DFS replication service on 1 node in each cluster and that node in each cluster has all disk online.
No problem when configure it in the wizard,but replication will not start and the error code says the path is not valid.
Regards
Andreas
