Failover cluster decisions on "resource offline stuck"

Environment
OS = windows2008/2012
Query
- When a resource stuck in offline pending state what happen ? can we mention anywhere to forcefully offline the resource ?
Any comment will be appreciated. Thanks. Zahid Haseeb.

Hi,
You can refer the following article for the detail operation when the resource fail.

WWW service is not able to start via Microsoft Failover Cluster generic service resource

Environment
Cluster Nodes = two
Cluster Nodes OS = Windows 2008R2
Application = IIS
Query
I created generic service resources of many windows services under Microsoft Failover Cluster and they are failing over successfully but when I create a generic service resource for WWW, then the WWW service is not able to online
via Microsoft Failover Cluster. It stuck in online pending.
I have noticed two things.
1.) If the WWW service is set to manual and started at passive node and I manually restart the Active node then the WWW service successfully switch over to stand by/passive node. but if the WWW service is set to
manual and not started on stand by/Passive node then the WWW service is not failing over.
2.) if I kill the WWW service manually (as a test case) on Active Node via this command (taskkill /f /pid XXXX) then the WWW service failed and is not failing
over to standby/passive node.
Any comment will be appreciated. Thanks. Zahid Haseeb.

The problem is resolved. I feel that it will be helpful to other people who may face the same problem which I faced, so I wrote a blog on "How to configure IIS Web Site and Application Pool in Microsoft Failover Cluster" and mentioned almost all activities
which I have done. Kindly see the resolution under section "Configure some changes in Cluster Configuration" in the below link

Server 2008 Hyper-V Failover Cluster Error on Domain Controller Reboot

I am pretty new to Hyper-V virtual but I have 2 Hyper-V Clusters, each with 2 Nodes and a SAN, 1 Physical Domain Controller for failover cluster management and 1 virtual domain controller as backup. All is running well, no issues. I installed
windows updates on the physical DC and upon reboot, got an error 5120 on cluster 2 that says "Cluster Shared Volume 'Volume1' ('Cluster Disk 1') is no longer available on this node because of 'STATUS_CONNECTION_DISCONNECTED(c000020c)'. All I/O will
temporarily be queued until a path to the volume is reestablished. It pointed to the 2nd node in that cluster as being the issue but when I look at it, it is online and all healthy so I don't understand why the error was triggered and if the DC would
go down for a failure, would that node not be able to access the CSV permanently.
Appreciate any help anyone can provide.

Hi mtnbikediver,
In theory, if you has the correct configuration of cluster the DC restart will not cause the CSV down, does your shared storage installed on your DC? Did you run
the cluster validation before you install the cluster? We strongly recommend you run the cluster validation before you build the cluster, same time please install the recommend update of 2008 cluster first.

I found a similar scenario issue the DC restart will effect the cluster network name resource offline, but it is for 2008R2.
Cluster network name resource cannot be brought online when one of the domain controllers is partly down in Windows Server 2008 R2

IP Resource Errors While Building a Windows Failover Cluster on Azure

I have setup a failover cluster in Microsoft Azure on four VMs. I have two nodes in one subnet/region, one node in another subnet/region and a final node in a third subnet/region. The cluster passed the validation wizard and was successfully built, but the
two nodes in other subnets will not go online, reporting "Failed to bring the resource 'IP Address x.x.x.x' online".
Azure Vnet Setup
Vnet 1 - South Central US - 10.16.16.0/16 - Nodes 1 & 2 - Online
Vnet 2 - West US - 10.116.16.0/16 - Node 3 - Offline
Vnet 3 - East US - 10.216.16.0/16 - Node 4 - Offline
All three IP Address resources are DHCP. I've attempted to make them static but they still failed while coming online. If I click "Information Details" on the error I get:
Error code: 0x80071397
The operation failed because either the specified cluster node is not the owner of the resource, or the node is not a possible owner of the resource.
It seems to be an issue with the way Azure DHCP works, but I'm stalled. There must be a way to get his working. What am I missing?

Hi Michael Lapidakis,
Starting in Windows Server 2008, a feature called an “OR dependency” was added to Failover Clustering which gave admins the ability to have nodes with a Network Name that
could use one IP Address OR another IP Address .In a multisite cluster, it is expected that 1 IP address is offline as it is an OR relationship.
You can refer the following related article to realize more detail settings of multi-site site cluster IP settings.

Windows server 2012 failover cluster error: Cluster resource 'Virtual Machine Configuration ... of type 'Virtual machine configuration in clustered role ... failed.

I have two windows 2012 host server that are clustered using windows failover cluster feature. Each server is hosting four VMs. When migrating from Host2 to Host1, the migration failed with the following error:
Cluster resource 'Virtual Machine Configuration SCPCSQLSRV01' of type 'Virtual Machine Configuration' in clustered role 'SCPCSQLSRV01' failed. The error code was '0x569' ('Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer.').
When this happens, the VM that I was migrating can no longer be started even on the original host. The only remedy is to restart the host server.
Any suggestion on resolving this problem?
Thanks
Ikad

Thanks. The article referred to above gives the solution to my issue. There is a group policy that is applied to the OU where the host servers were placed. Doing gpupdate /force temporarily removes the problem. Unfortunately the NT Virtual Machine\Virtual
Machines account is a special account that cannot be added like other accounts and granted the log on as a service right. The thread
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverhyperv/thread/d56f2eae-726e-409a-8813-670a406593e8 contains how it can be added which is by creating a group and running the command
Net localgroup VMTest “NT Virtual Machine\Virtual Machines” /add
to add it to a local group VMTest. VMTest is then assigned the right to log on as a service.

Failover Cluster Manager 2012 Showing Wrong Disk Resource - Fix by Powershell

On Server 2012 Failover Cluster Manager, we have one Hyper-V virtual machine that is showing the wrong storage resource. That is, it is showing a CSV that is in no way associated with the VM. The VM has only one .vhd, which exists on Volume 16.
The snapshot file location and smart paging file are also on Volume 16. This much is confirmed by using the Failover Cluster Manager to look at the VM settings. If you start into the "Move Virtual Machine Storage" dialog, you can see
the .vhd, snapshots, second level paging, and current configuration all exist on Volume 16. Sounds good.
However, if you look at the resources tab for the virtual machine, Volume 16 is not listed under storage. Instead, it says Volume 17, which is a disk associated with a different virtual machine. That virtual machine also (correctly) shows Volume
17 as a resource.
So, if everything is on Volume 16, why does the Failover Cluster Manager show Volume 17, and not 16, as the Storage Resource? Perhaps this was caused by an earlier move with the wrong tool (Hyper-V manager), but I don't remember doing this.
In Server 2003, there was a "refresh virtual machine configuration" option to fix this, but it doesn't appear in Failover Cluster Manager in Server 2012.
Instead, the only way I've found to fix the problem is in PowerShell.
Update-ClusterVirtualMachineConfiguration "put configuration name here in quotes"
You would think that this would be an important enough operation to include GUI support for it, possibly in the "More Actions" right-click action on the configuration file.

Network Name Resource Availability - failover cluster error 1196 on Hyper-V 2012 R2 nodes

Hello,
We're getting this error in our even logs of our four node failover cluster, we tried deleting Host A record in DNS management, that did nothing.

"Cluster network name resource 'CAUCrgt8' failed registration of one or more associated DNS name(s) for the following reason: This operation returned because the timeout period expired.

And this resource http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773529%28v=WS.10%29.aspx did not help in solving this.

Ghost VM resources under failover cluster manager roles

Hello, everyone,
I had a Windows 2012 R2 hyper-v host with few VMs running on it. I deployed a second host, and using SC VMM created a failover cluster. Also I added a shared cluster volume and migrated all VMs to the shared storage using SC VMM console. In
the process I also checked the checkbox to make the VM highly available. Everithyng worked fine.
Now when I look in to Failover Cluster Manager console I see some "ghost" vm roles. Their names are correspondend to the names of the running VMs, which I also can see in the console. For example I have vm HDCADC01, there is another
role in the console "SCVMM HDCADC01 Resources", the status is off, settings are empty.
Does anyone knows what are these resources? Is it somekind of glitch during the migration? Is it safe to remove them?
Thank you,
Jamal.

Where should I run this command?
On my VMM server Update-clustervirtualmachineconfiguration command complains that The cluster services is not running.
On the one of hyper-v server, cluster nodes, "get-vm -name hdcadc01" returns "Get-VM : A parameter is invalid. Hyper-V was unable to find a virtual machine with name hdcadc01". The same result is when I used "ghost" resources name.

DFS-R folder resources Failed in Failover Cluster on Server 2008 R2

Maybe a week ago, 7 of our DFS-R Folder failover cluster resources lost their configuration data. In the resource list, they just show up as "()".
I've seen suggestions online that disabling the replicated folder will remove it from the Failover Cluster, and then re-enabling it will automatically add it back to the cluster. So, I've disabled it via the Connections tab, and that does nothing. The other
option is to disable it under the Memberships tab...but that has consequences, and I would rather not do that if it isn't necessary.
I'm also now seeing event ID 5012's popping up in the DFS Replication logs every hour or so.
The DFS Replication service failed to communicate with partner etc etc. The partner did not recognize the connection or the
replication group configuration.
Error: 9026 (The connection is invalid)
Now, "dfsrdiag pollad /verbose" or "dfsrdiag pollad /mem:<dc name>" both come back as successful. And a DFS Diagnostic Report brings back nothing apparently relevant to this issue, other than one error concerning the same event
ID 5012's.
Also, I've verified that it's not a DNS issue, pinging the home office DFS server from the site server resolves correctly, and vice versa. And the windows firewall is disabled on both servers. It's POSSIBLE that there is a network issue. Replication works
fine between the site server and the 2nd cluster server service, just not between the site server and the 1st cluster server service. However, via netstat I see active connections between the site server and the cluster server, as well as the active cluster
host (although, just a single connection to the clustered DFS server, but ~6 to the cluster host itself).
So, I'm completely at a loss here. Any recommendations?

Hi,
This error usually occurs when one partner attempts to establish an RPC connection with another member, but is unable to.
You could refer to the thread below to troubleshoot the issue:

Missing a VM in Failover Cluster Manager

We did eventually cut the power when shutting down the second of the two hosts in the cluster, because it got stuck at some stage during shutdown. The reason we shut down was that there were problems piling up while we moved VMs between the two nodes.
After boot, we no longer see one of the virtual machines in the Failover Cluster Manager. In Hyper-V Manager we see it, and it runs just fine.
How can we add the missing VM back in Failover Cluster Manager? Is there a simple way?
All the servers are Win 2008 R2.
Maybe a simple question - I don't know - but we just don't have enough knowledge right now, nor has searching the net resulted in anything useful. Appreciate a bit of help holding our heads above water while we learn to swim.

You mean what I see in Cluster Events in Failover Cluster Manager? I saved it, opened it in Event Viewer, and saved it as tab delimited text. Is that ok?
I have removed the text after the event IDs whenever the text was exactly identical to the preceding event with the same event ID, to shorten my post. I also cut away a long list of repetitive events where you see the ellipsis'.

Cluster network name resource 'Cluster Name' failed registration of one or more associated DNS name(s) for the following reason: The handle is invalid.

I'm stuck here trying to figure this error out.
2003 domain, 2012 hyper v core 3 nodes. (I have two of these hyper V groups, hvclust2012 is the problem group, hvclust2008 is okay)
In Failover Cluster Manager I see these errors, "Cluster network name resource 'Cluster Name' failed registration of one or more associated DNS name(s) for the following reason: The handle is invalid."
I restarted the host node that was listed in having the error then another node starts showing the errors.
I tried to follow this site: http://blog.subvertallmedia.com/2012/12/06/repairing-a-failover-cluster-in-windows-server-2012-live-migration-fails-dns-cluster-name-errors/
Then this error shows up when doing the repair: there was an error repairing the active directory object for 'Cluster Name'
I looked at our domain controller and noticed I don't have access to local users and groups. I can access our other hvclust2008 (both clusters are same version 2012).

I came upon this thread: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/85fc2ad5-b0c0-41f0-900e-df1db8625445/windows-2012-cluster-resource-name-fails-dns-registration-evt-1196?forum=winserverClustering
Now, I'm stuck on adding a managed service account (mas). I'm not sure if I'm way off track to fix this. Any advice? Thanks in advance!

Thanks Elton,
I restarted 3 hosts after applying the hotfix. Then I did the steps below and got stuck on step 5. That is when I get the error (image above). There
was an error repairing the active directory object for 'Cluster Name'. For more data, see 'Information Details'.
To reset the password on the affected name resource, perform the following steps:
From Failover Cluster Manager, locate the name resource.
Right-click on the resource, and click Properties.
On the Policies tab, select If resource fails, do not restart, and then click OK.
Right-click on the resource, click More Actions, and then click Simulate Failure.
When the name resource shows "Failed," right-click on the resource, click More Actions, and then click Repair.
After the name resource is online, right-click on the resource, and then click Properties.
On the Policies tab, select If resource fails, attempt restart on current node, and then click OK.
Thanks

Failover cluster not cleanly shutting down service

I've got a two node 2008 R2 failover cluster. I have a single service being managed by it that I configured just as a generic service. The failover works perfectly when the service is stopped, or when one of the machines goes down, and the immediate
failback I have configured works perfectly in both scenarios as well.
However, there's an issue when I take the networking down on the preferred owner of the service. As far as I can tell (this is the first time I've tried failover clustering, so I'm learning), when I take the networking down, the cluster service shuts
down, and in turn shuts down the service I've told it to manage. At this point, when the services aren't running, the service fails over to the secondary as intended. The problem shows up when I turn the networking back on. The service tries
and fails to start on the primary (as many times as I've configured it to try), and then eventually gives up and goes back to the secondary.
The reason for this, examining logs for the service, is that the required port is already in use. I checked some more, and sure enough, when I take the networking offline the service gets shut down, but the executable is still running. This is
repeatable every time. When I just stop the service, though, the executables go away. So it's something to do specifically with how the managed service gets shut down *when it's shut down due to the cluster service stopping*. For some reason
it's not cleaning up that associated executable.
Any ideas as to why this is happening and how to fix/work around it would be extremely welcome. Thank you!

Try to generate cluster log using closter log /g /copy:<path to a local folder>. You might need to bump up log verbosity using cluster /prop ClusterLogLevel=5 (you can check current level using cluster /prop).
You also can look at the SCM diagnostic channel in the event viewer. Start eventvwr. Wait for the clock icon on the Application and Services Logs to go away. Once the clock icon is gone select this entry and in the menu check Show Analytic and Debug Logs.
Now expand to the SCM provider located at
Application and Services Logs\Microsoft\Service Control Manager Performance Diagnostic Provider\Diagnostic.
or Microsoft-Windows-Services/Diagnostic
Enable the log, run repro, disable the log. After that you should see events from the SCM showing you your service state transitions.
The terminate parameters do not seems to be configurable. I can think of two ways fixing the issue
- Writing your own cluster resource DLL where you can implement your own policies. THis would be a place to start http://blogs.msdn.com/b/clustering/archive/2010/08/24/10053405.aspx.
- This option is assuming you cannot change the source code of the service to kill orphaned child processes on startup so you have to clenup using some other means. Create another service and make your service dependent on this new service. This new serice
must be much faster in responding do the SCM commands. On start of this service you using PSAPI enumirate all processes running on the machine and kill the orphaned child processes. You probably should be able to acheve something similar using GenScript resource
+ VB script that does the cleanup.

Cluster Network name resource could not be updated in domain

Hi,
I have the following error and need clarification on the below solution in bold:
Event Id 1206 -
The computer object associated with the cluster network name resource 'Cluster Name' could not be updated in domain 'xxxxx.xxxx'. The error code was 'Password change'. The cluster identity 'ClusterGroup1$' may lack permissions required to update the object.
1 - Move CNO back to the Computers Container
2- Give the Cluster Node Computer Accounts Change Password permission on the CNO
3 - Take the Cluster Name Resource offline
4 - Repair Cluster Name Resource
5 - Bring Cluster Name Resource back online
Firstly, is there any implication?
Secondly if ClusterGroup1$ is my CNO (Cluster Name Object) then is my
cluster node computer account the server nodes in the cluster? E.g. ClusterGroup1$ is the cluster, the nodes are hyperv01 and hyperv02, do I add hyperv01 and hyperv02 to clustergroup1 -- properties -- security?
Thank you.

Hi SPD IT,
If you have pre-stage your cluster object to a specific OU, you needn’t move them to default computer OU, with your current error information it most possible caused by the
lack permission of cluster nodes or some unless GPO applied to cluster nodes, please exclude the cluster from any GPO, then test this issue.
If it does not work please follow this repair action then monitor this issue:
1. Open Failover Cluster manager
2. Select Clustername
3. Under Cluster Core Resources right click on Cluster Name and select Take offline
4. Right click on Cluster Name and select repair.
I’m glad to be of help to you!

Add IPv6 to a running failover cluster

Hi
I have a sql failover cluster running win2k8 R2 and SQL 2008 it was built around IPv4 the instance listens on IPv4 cluster IP address ( virtual IP)
I rescently got a request that there will be servers running in pure IPv6 networks and the need to be able to talk directly to the database using IPv6 that where I need to add a cluster IPv6.
The database is the backend for our backup server and it cannot be taken offline or allow a downtime of more than 30 minutes so rebuilding the cluster is out of questions
So my question how do I go by and add the IPv6 cluster address alongside the IPv4, I am not reffering to an IPv6 Resource.
Any suggestions will be very appreciated
Regards

Hello,
Please try to configure the NIC on the nodes for IPv6 and make sure the Host Record (A) has been created for IPv6 on the DNS server. I think that’s all you need.
I am sorry for the late response, I did not notice the thread on the forum.
Hope this helps.

FTP in Windows 2012 Failover Cluster

Hi,
Understand that Windows 2012 is having much improved Failover Clustering features,however i have faced issues when i configured FTP in Windows 2012 Failover Cluster.
1) As per the process configured the shared disk for FTP data path.
2)Installaed FTP feature in both Nodes of Clustert
3)Finally created the Generic Service in Cluster Roles for FTP Service.
After the configuration i found everything working fine but when i try to failover the FTP role found that FTP resource is not moving smoothly. Also i observed that Microsoft FTP service gets in to "starting" mode in the destination Node. To run the FTP
resource Microsft FTP service should be in Started mode.
This happens only when we try to failover else it works fine if you start freshly.
Have any one tried this? Any clue about such issue ?

Hi,
In earlier versions of Internet Information Services, Microsoft provided generic resource monitor components to support high availability Web server instances by using the Microsoft Clustering infrastructure. However, custom code was needed to fully realize
the potential of this solution. Also, the generic scripts that Microsoft provided did not satisfy customer needs.
From IIS 7 to configure IIS in a clustered environment by using Windows Server failover clustering, you have to use a custom (scripting) code to enable such a high availability scenario.
Note:
We recommend that administrators carefully evaluate the use of Network Load Balancing (NLB) instead of using failover clustering as the primary and preferred method for improving the scalability and availability of Web applications that have multiple servers
that are running new IIS (from IIS 7) . One benefit of NLB is that all servers can actively participate in the concurrent handling of incoming HTTP requests. Another benefit is that in an NLB IIS environment, it can be much easier to support rolling updates
and rollbacks while still providing high availability of Web applications.
To configure high availability for IIS FTP servers using Failover Clustering:
Install the Web Server role on all cluster nodes.
Install the Failover Clustering feature on all cluster nodes and create the cluster.
Set up a file share that will be used for IIS shared configuration
Configure the IIS shared configuration on all cluster nodes
Configure Offline Files for IIS Shared Configuration on all cluster nodes
Configure the FTP site and specify the location of its content on one cluster node
Configure high availability for your FTP site by creating a generic script in Failover Cluster Manager
For more detailed configuration procedure please refer to following MS articles:
Note: I didn’t find IIS 8 in Windows Server 2012 failover cluster configuration guide, below guide was published for II 7 in Windows server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, but its basis configuration procedures should also apply to Windows Server 2012.
