Symptoms

Assume that you configure a Windows Server 2008 R2-based failover cluster. An IP address fails over from one cluster node to another cluster node. In this situation, router does not update its Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table. Therefore, remote client computers cannot reach the cluster node that has the IP address. 

Cause

This issue occurs because Windows does not send a gratuitous ARP packet when a new IP address is assigned on the computer.

Resolution

Always refer to the "Applies To" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each hotfix applies to.

  • The files that apply to a specific product, SR_Level (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table:

    Version

    Product

    Milestone

    Service branch

    6.1.760 1.17xxx

    Windows Server 2008 R2

    SP1

    GDR

    6.1.760 1.22xxx

    Windows Server 2008 R2

    SP1

    LDR

  • GDR service branches contain only those fixes that are widely released to address widespread, critical issues. LDR service branches contain hotfixes in addition to widely released fixes.

  • The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows Server 2008 R2" section. MUM and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are extremely important to maintaining the state of the updated component. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
