The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition version 4.0

SYMPTOMS
========
When you restart your server, some Digital Array controllers may randomly lose
the shared drive in a cluster.
CAUSE
=====
This behavior can occur if the /pcilock switch is enabled on one computer but
not on the other.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this behavior, enable the /pcilock switch in the Boot.ini file. Then,
shut down and then restart the computer.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The /pcilock switch prevents the hardware abstraction layer (HAL) from moving
anything on the PCI bus. The I/O and memory resources are left exactly as they
were set by the BIOS.
