Hi all!
I recently had to destroy my cluster. I recreated the cluster ensuring that the previous cluster name was purged from AD. I had no issues recreating the cluster. I went through the validation of the second node, again, no issues. However, when I try to finish the addition of the second node, the wizard hangs and displays "Waiting for notification that node mynode2 is a fully functional member of the cluster".
The summary report shows the following:
Cluster service on node mynode2 did not reach the running state. The error code
is 0x5b4. For more information check the cluster log and the system event log
from node mynode2. This operation returned because the timeout period expired.
The Event log shows the following:
1) Cluster node mynode2 could not to join the cluster because it failed to communicate over the network with any other node in the cluster. Verify the network connectivity and configuration of any network firewalls.
2) The Cluster service cannot be started. An attempt to read configuration data from the Windows registry failed with error '2'. Please use the Failover Cluster Management snap-in to ensure that this machine is a member of a cluster. If you intend to add this machine to an existing cluster use the Add Node Wizard. Alternatively, if this machine has been configured as a member of a cluster, it will be necessary to restore the missing configuration data that is necessary for the Cluster Service to identify that it is a member of a cluster. Perform a System State Restore of this machine in order to restore the configuration data.
3) The Cluster Service service terminated with the following service-specific error: The system cannot find the file specified.
The firewall and Symantec endpoints have been disabled. I have also tried cleaning up the nodes and re-installing the Failover Cluster but the issue persists. Is there anything in particular I should be looking for in the Cluster Log?
Help or hints would be much appreciated.
