Question : Problem: cant access array aftre node rename

I am having difficulty accessing an array that was part of a cluster.

we moved the cluster and main datat to a new better box (all worked well)

in the process we renamed the old box, now when i go to access any of the disks on the old array I get "The device is not ready"  

ACU and disk manager shows everything still intact.

i dont need it to work as a cluster just need some data off  (yes i have tapes  but would like to get the data from the disks as well (a little newer

Windows 2003 sp1
MS CLuster
2x dl-380 and 1 storageworks 500 g2 array

Answer : Problem: cant access array aftre node rename

Sound like you're using persistent reserves and the array is remembering who has the lock on the disk.  If you can see the disk (scsi inquiry works) but can't read/write (scsi I/O fails), that's usually due to a scsi reserve on the disk.
