This has been happening for awhile (in 10.5+10.6), but when I restart my computer my "shared" storage drive does not mount automatically. The Cluster storage resides on a local drive (which is mounted), so I'm not sure what steps would be necessary to mount this virtual drive.
Stopping services in the Qmaster System Prefs. pane and restarting mount the drive and make my services available again.
This happens with Quick Clusters and manual Clusters.
You are restarting a computer, not waking from sleep.
That computer is supposed to mount a share from another computer, in order to support your Qmaster realm.
The share does not get mounted automatically, and you need to do it manually.
You want it to happen automatically instead.
Do I have that right?
I've not dealt in this realm for awhile, but in the past I have solved this by adding an item in my user account's "Login Items" pane. Seem to recall you can drag the icon of a currently mounted share into that list.
Also, since this auto-mounting is really a generic system issue, you might get better help over in one of the general Mac OS X forums.
Unfortunately it's not an auto-mount issue. I tried that before with this "virtual drive" (it has a ".local" extension) but it wont mount, while other drives will.
I wonder if it is indeed an automount issue, in which Qmaster is trying to access the volume before it has finished mounting. What's your network and directory config look like?
Look at speeding up the mount, or on delaying Qmaster's start, or causing it to manually stop & restart.
Here's a similar issue, where a slow connection to the directory service interferes with Xsan clients mounting their drives:
