Failover cluster on Longhorn "Thierry" <thierry[ at ]yarglah.com.invalid> 04.07.2007 14:17:21 Hi, I got problem adding a node in a failover cluster. First the cluster is created and I tried to add anothe one. Error is "The server X could not be added to the cluster. An erro occured while adding node X to cluster C. This operation returned because the timeout period expired". On X event log I got an error EventID 7024 with data : "Cluster Service 258 (0x102) The handle is invalid" Seems to the cluster service cant start. I tried to start it manually and I got a 1090 error from "FailoverClustering" with "The handle is invalid". What is the problem ? I always tried to reinstalled the failover feature on this server.

AFAIRemember (I don't have it now) all is OK except a warning because both computers does not belongs to the same OU. Probably because the node I want to include in the cluster is a PDC, and the one who create the cluster is not.

Re: Failover cluster on Longhorn "Chuck [MSFT]" <ctimon[ at ]online.microsoft.com> 05.07.2007 16:07:24 We do not ever recommend installing the Failover Clustering feature on Domain Controllers. Having sasi that, when you run the 'Create Cluster' wizard and add all the nodes in, what happens?

Re: Failover cluster on Longhorn Elden 07.07.2007 04:20:02 Hi Thierry, Few things... First off, the Cluster Service (ClusSvc) will be in a Stopped and Disabled state until you join or create a cluster with that machine. It will be automatically started, don't try to start it manually... it will fail, and cause Create Cluster to fail if it is not in the correct state. As Chuck suggested, the first thing you should always do when creating a Win2008 cluster is to run Validate. If Create or Join are failing, run Validate... Take a look at the CreateCluster log. Any errors or what step is it timing out on? You will find it in the following directory (with all other cluster logs): C:\Windows\Cluster\Reports Also, which build are you running? Beta 3? June CTP / IDX3? Just an FYI... here is a link to the Win2008 Failover Cluster newsgroup: http://forums.microsoft.com/technet/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=827&SiteID=17 Thanks! Elden
