Failover cluster name missing subnet on DAG

I've seen this multiple times and can't figure it out and end up having to recreate the DAG. On Server 2012 / Exchange 2013 I've experienced problems with the IP / subnet in failover cluster.
Its like the DAG name loses the ip address (or someone deleted it).
But the problem is when I open failover cluster manager and look at the properties of the "DAG Name" and try to add an IP address, it doesn't have the subnet that DAG nic is on. Each server has a MAPI and a DAG nic. Why does it only show the MAPI
nic subnet and not the DAG nic?

Hi,
Based on the description, you can't check "Allow clients to connect through this network" on MAPI network.
Is there any error message when you try to check "Allow clients to connect through this network"?
Besides, please check if there is any related events in the application log.
And please check the network settings on DAG member, you can look at the folllowing article.

  • Failover Cluster Manager Missing

    I created new Windows 2012 R2 Servers (non-core) and configured a functional failover cluster.
    I then removed the GUI using the Powershell command:
    Remove-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Shell, Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra
    After testing applications, it was determined that the applications would not run properly without the server GUI shell.  I added it back using the following PowerShell command:
    Add-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Shell, Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra
    I notice that after this, when I go into Server Manager, Failover Cluster Manager is no longer available.
    How do I restore it?

    Hi;
    Simply remove the Failover Cluster Management Tools from the Remote Server Administration Tools in Server Manager and reinstalling it again should resolve your problem.

  • Exchange 2013 DAG - Failover Cluster Warnings

    I have two new Exchange servers (PROD1 and DR1) that I recently updated to CU8 in preparation for going into production.  After reboots, I noticed that I had a warning on the "Server Manager" window.
    PROD1 lists itself, DR1, and DAG1 as servers though it marks DAG1 as not accessible.
    DR1 lists only itself and PROD1.  It does not list DAG1.
    PROD1 is generating a ton of failover cluster errors (1205, 1254, 1069, 1044) while DR1 is clean.
    In the Failover Cluster Manager of each server, the object of DAG1 is listed as "Offline".  It has two IPs - one for each of the Exchange servers' subnets (this is where I think I screwed up).  The IP for PROD1's subnet is 10.2.8.131
    and is "Failed" and the IP of DR1 is 10.4.8.131 and is "Offline".  The IP of PROD1 is 10.2.8.132 and DR1 is 10.4.8.132.
    Attempts to bring the cluster object online fail "due to the failure of one or more provider resources".
    The instructions I followed to set up the DAG did not mention the need for multiple NICs.  I now think this is incorrect and would be willing to use separate subnets and NICs for the DAG if necessary.  (I could use 10.2.12.X and 10.4.12.X instead.)
    I am currently still able to fail the database copy between DR1 and PROD1 without any problems.

    Hi Jkm,
    As you said :PROD1 is generating a ton of failover cluster errors (1205, 1254, 1069, 1044) while DR1 is clean.
    I suggest you post failover cluster errors to
    [email protected] for our troubleshooting.
    If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know. 
    Best Regard,

  • DAG Failover Cluster Service Errors

    Hi all,
    I have six Exchange 2013 SP1 mailbox servers installed on Server 2008 R2 configured in two seperate DAG's (3 and 3).
    I'm using a single NIC on all the servers for replication and server connectivity. 
    I pre-staged the DAG computer object in AD (and assigned permissions), and configured DNS entries for both (confirmed and resolvable). I also configured the DAG network subnet and DAG IP address via EAC. 
    At the moment I have active DB's on each server and then a passive copy on each other server, and all instances are healthy.
    However, when I look in the WFC on each server, there are a ton of errors in the cluster event logs. All of the nodes show up as green, along with the cluster network, but the cluster shows "The cluster network name is not online". 
    Cluster resource 'Cluster Name' in clustered service or application 'Cluster Group' failed.
    Cluster network name resource 'Cluster Name' cannot be brought online. The computer object associated with the resource could not be updated in domain 'contoso.com' for the following reason:
    Unable to obtain the Primary Cluster Name Identity token.
    The text for the associated error code is: An attempt has been made to operate on an impersonation token by a thread that is not currently impersonating a client.
    The cluster identity 'DAG$' may lack permissions required to update the object. Please work with your domain administrator to ensure that the cluster identity can update computer objects in the domain.
    I've removed and re-added DNS records, and double checked the permissions on the CNO object. What else can I do?

    Hi,
    Its not a good idea to add a static DNS-Record for the DAG - Remove it and on the member holding the PAM, run ipconfig /registerdns.
    Martina Miskovic
    It also turns out that the CNO objects were never re-enabled by Exchange during the DAG creation process. Once I followed your steps above, and manually enabled the object in AD, the DNS entries auto-populated and everything came online.
    Thanks for the help!

  • Manage MSMQ is missing from Failover Cluster Manager when configured using powershell

    Hi,
    I am hoping someone would be able to help me as I have looked on the internet for an answer to this. We deploy a number of servers that are configured using Powershell. I am in the process of creating a clustered WIN2K8R2 cluster with MSMQ. I am able to
    do this successfully through the Failover Mgr with no issues.  In addition, I can do this via Powershell (code listed below) with one caveat.
    However, when I create the same exact MSMQ in Powershell, I am unable to right click on the MSMQ service to manage it as the "Manage MSMQ" is missing when I right click on it. The settings are the same, including dependencies. The only difference
    I have been able to find is the icon in the Failover Manager shows the Service as a Generic Service icon when created in Powershell, but when it is created in the GUI it shows up as the MSMQ icon. I was able to verify this in the registry in HKLM\Cluster\Groups\<GUID>\:
    GroupType HEX: 68 for msmq icon. When it is the Generic Service icon it is HEX: 270f. When I change it from 270f to 68, the icon changes in Failover Manager and I am able to open, but then I get an invalid handle and I am unable to manage it.
    This is causing an issue, because I want to automate this build and hand it over, but they would be unable to manage it except by programming which the operators are not ready for.
    Here is the code which I have created in Powershell:
        Write-host "Configuring MS MSMQ Cluster Failover..."
        $CluName = "Cluster Name"
        $ClsMSMQName = $CluName.Name + "MSMQ"
        $ClsMSMQResourceName = "MSMQ-" + $ClsMSMQName
        $Response = Read-host "Enter the IP Address of the Clustered MSMQ"
        $ClsIpRes = get-clusterresource "Cluster IP Address"
        $MSMQIpAddr = New-Object Microsoft.FailoverClusters.PowerShell.ClusterParameter $ipres,Address,$Response
        Add-ClusterServerRole -Name $ClsMSMQName -Storage "Cluster Disk" -StaticAddress $MSMQIpAddr.value
        # Add the MSMSMQ Service to the new Server Role
        Get-ClusterGroup $ClsMSMQName | Add-ClusterResource -Name $ClsMSMQResourceName -ResourceType "MSMQ"
        # Create Dependencies for the MSMQ group
        Add-ClusterResourceDependency $ClsMSMQResourceName $ClsMSMQName
        Add-ClusterResourceDependency $ClsMSMQResourceName "Cluster Disk"
        # Start MSMQ group
        Start-ClusterGroup $ClsMSMQName
    You would just have to change "Cluster Disk" and "Cluster Name".

  • Additional DAG IP not shown in failover cluster manager

    Hi,
    I am facing a strange issue in our environment having Exchange 2010 SP3 RU2 with Windows 2008 R2 SP1
    We had a DAG cluster spread across 2 different AD sites, recently we had added an additional IP address in DAG from the secondary site IP subnet.
    Both the IP addresses are updated under DAG properties in EMC & in EMS, but only old IP address is visible in failover cluster manager.
    I believe both the IP addresses should be visible in failover cluster manager (One IP should be Online & Second IP should be Offline).
    There is no events getting generated which could give me some clue about where the issue lies. Please suggest if someone had faced similar issue.
    Thanks
    Supreet Singh

    Hi,
    Based on my knowledge, this issue is related to that you don't add a server in DR site to the existing DAG.
    The additional IP address should display in Failover Cluster Manager after you add a Mailbox server in DR site to your existing DAG.
    You can look at the "Database availability group lifecycle" section in the following article.

  • Failover Cluster Network Name Failed and Can't be Repaired

    I have an issue that seem to be a different problem than any others have encountered.
    I've scoured everything I can find and nothing has fixed my problem.
    The problem starts with the common problem of the cluster network name failing on my 2 node server 2012 file server cluster.  The computer object was still in AD and appeared to be fine so it was not the common problem of the object
    getting deleted somehow.  At the time, there was no other object with that name in the recycling bin, so I don't think it was mistakenly deleted and quickly recreated to cover any tracks, so to speak.
    Following one guide, I tried to find the registry key that corresponded with the GUID of the object, but neither node in the cluster had it in its registry (which may be part of the problem).
    Since it was in the failed state, I tried to do the repair on the object to no avail.
    We run a "locked down" DC environment so all computer objects have to be pre-provisioned.  They were all pre-provisioned successfully and successfully assigned during cluster creation.  The cluster was running with no issues for a month
    or so before this problem came up.
    When I do a repair on the object while taking diagnostic logs the following 4609 error appears:
    The action 'Repair' did not complete. - System.ApplicationException: An error occurred resetting the password for 'Cluster Name'. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Unknown error (0x80005000)
    There appears to be a corresponding 4771 error with a failure code 0x18 that comes from the security log of the DC that states there was a Kerberos pre-authentication failure for the cluster network name object (Domain\Clustername$)
    I believe this is what is causing the repair failure.  All the information I found related to security error 4771 was either a bad credentials given for a user account or the fix was to reconnect the computer to the domain.  I can't seem to find
    a way to do this with the cluster network name.  If there's a way please let me know.
    I've tried a number of things, like resetting the object, disabling it, deleting and creating a new object with the same name, deleting that new object and recovering the original, etc...
    Can anyone shed some light on what is going on and hopefully how to fix it other than rebuilding the cluster?  I'm quite close to just tearing it down and building it back up but am hesitant because this cluster in currently in production...
    Any help would be appreciated

    Hi,
    I don’t find out the similar issue with yours, base on my experience, the 4096 error
     often caused by the CSV disk issue, and the 0x80005000 error some time caused by the repetitive computer object in OU. Please check the above related part or run the validate test then post the error information.
    Although I do have a CSV, there doesn't seem to be any problems with it and it was running just fine for a month or so before the problem started.  I double checked and there is no duplicate computer objects, maybe I don't understand what you mean by
    repetitive, could you explain further?
    The cluster validates successfully with a few warnings:
    Validating cluster resource Name: DT-FileCluster.
    This resource is marked with a state of 'Failed' instead of
    'Online'. This failed state indicates that the resource had a problem either
    coming online or had a failure while it was online. The event logs and cluster
    logs may have information that is helpful in identifying the cause of the
    failure.
    - This is because the cluster name is in the failed state
    Validating the service principal names for Name:
    DT-FileCluster.
    The network name Name: DT-FileCluster does not have a valid
    value for the read-only property 'ObjectGUID'. To validate the service principal
    name the read-only private property 'ObjectGuid' must have a valid value. To
    correct this issue make sure that the network name has been brought online at
    least once. If this does not correct this issue you will need to delete the
    network name and re-create it.
    - This is definitely related to the problem and the GUID probably got removed when we attempted a fix by resetting the object and trying the repair from the failover cluster manager.
    The user running validate, does not have permissions to create
    computer objects in the 'ad.unlv.edu' domain.
    - This is correct, we run a restricted domain.  I have a delegated OU that I can pre-provision accounts in.  The account was pro-provisioned successfully and was at one point setup and working just fine.
    There are no other errors nor warnings.

  • Exchange 2013 MBX in DAG along with Hyper-V and Failover Cluster

    Hi Guys! I've tried to find out an answer of my question or some kind of solution, but with no luck that's why I am writing here. The case is as follows. I have two powerful server boxes and iSCSI storage and I have to design high availability
    solution, which includes SCOM 2012, SC DPM 2012 and exchange 2013 (two CAS+HUB servers and two MBX servers).
    Let me tell you how I plan to do that and you will correct me if proposed solution is wrong.
    1. On both hosts - add Hyper-V role.
    2. On both hosts - add failover clustering role.
    3. Create 2 VMs through failover cluster manager, VMs will be stored on a iSCSI LUN, the first one VM for SCOM 2012 and the second one for SCDPM 2012. Both VMs will be added as failover resource.
    4. Create 4 VMs - 2 for CAS+HUB role and 2 for MBX role, VMs will be stored on a iSCSI LUN as well.
    5. Create a DAG within the two MBX servers.
    In general, that's all. What I wonder is whether I can use failover clustering to acheive High Availability for 2 VMs and at the same time to create DAG between MBX-servers and NLB between CAS-servers?
    Excuse me for this question, but I am not proficient in this matter.

    Hi,
    As far as I know, it’s supported to create DAG for mailbox server installed in hyper-v server.
    And since load balance has been changed for CAS 2013, it is more worth with DNS round robin instead of NLB. However, you can use NLB in Exchange 2013.
    For more information, you can refer to the following article:

  • Network DR test causes Exchange DAG network to fail (Failover Cluster Manager reports comms errors)

    We have a DAG configured between 2 mailbox servers, one in each of our main data centres. Our comms team recently performed a DR test between our 2 data centres, switiching from the main production link to the backup link. During this outage the Failover
    Cluster Manager reported errors, with each mailbox server reporting the other as uncontactable. The Events that were logged include the following:
    Isatap interface isatap.{02ADE20A-D5D4-437F-AD00-E6601F7E7A9D} is no longer active. (EventID 4201)
    Cluster node 'MAILBOX_SERVER' was removed from the active failover cluster membership. The Cluster service on this node may have stopped. This could also be due to the node having lost communication with other active nodes in the failover cluster. Run the
    Validate a Configuration wizard to check your network configuration. If the condition persists, check for hardware or software errors related to the network adapters on this node. Also check for failures in any other network components to which the node is
    connected such as hubs, switches, or bridges. (EventID 1135)
    File share witness resource 'File Share Witness (\\WITNESS_SERVER\SHARE_NAME)' failed to arbitrate for the file share '\\WITNESS_SERVER\SHARE_NAME'. Please ensure that file share '\\WITNESS_SERVER\SHARE_NAME' exists and is accessible by the cluster. (EventID
    1564)
    Cluster resource 'File Share Witness (\\\WITNESS_SERVER\SHARE_NAME)' in clustered service or application 'Cluster Group' failed. (EventID 1069)
    The Cluster service is shutting down because quorum was lost. This could be due to the loss of network connectivity between some or all nodes in the cluster, or a failover of the witness disk. Run the Validate a Configuration wizard to check your network
    configuration. If the condition persists, check for hardware or software errors related to the network adapter. Also check for failures in any other network components to which the node is connected such as hubs, switches, or bridges. (EventID 1177)
    The Cluster Service service terminated with service-specific error A quorum of cluster nodes was not present to form a cluster. (EventID 7024)
    The Microsoft Exchange Information Store service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done this 1 time(s).  The following corrective action will be taken in 5000 milliseconds: Restart the service. (EventID 7031)
    Looking at the Cluster Events in the Failover Cluster Manager Snap-In i see a heap of Event ID 47 (cannot activate the DAG databases as the server is not up according to Windows Failover Cluster Service) and:
    Node status could not be recorded. This could prevent some network failure logic from functioning correctly. NodeStatus:IsHealthy=True,HasADAccess=True,ClusterErrorOverrideFalse,LastUpdate=5/2/2011 8:25:42 AMUTC Failure:An Active Manager operation failed.
    Error: An error occurred while attempting a cluster operation. Error: Cluster API '"ClusterRegSetValue() failed with 0x6be. Error: The remote procedure call failed"' failed.. (EventID 184)
    Forcefully dismounting all the locally mounted databases on server 'BACKUP_MAILBOX_SERVER. (EventID 307).
    Our Comms team doesn't believe it is a comms issue as they did not log any network communication errors between the servers in the two sites (using icmp). So if it is not a comms issue, how can I configure the Failover Cluster Manager to be resilient to
    this type of network failover event.
    Thanks
    Dan

    Isn't it also true that in a stretched DAG with even numbered nodes, the PAM needs to be in the same site as the active DAG node?  If the connection between both nodes goes down, and the PAM is in the "passive" site, the primary node will
    dismount the databases since it can't check with the PAM to make sure its safe for it to be up.  
    In a even-numbered node stretched DAG, the PAM changes to the DR/passive site everytime a failover occurs, but doesn't automatically switch back when you reactivate the primary node.

  • Failover Cluster 2012 Network Name fails to come online.

    Hi,
    I created a new one node Windows 2012 failover cluster.  The cluster was created successfully, but configuring Client Access Point  finished without creating VCO in Active Directory. Then I created computer object in the same OU
    with cluster according article

  • SQL cluster name on a Windows Failover Cluster

    Hello,
    I am installing a SQL cluster (first timer) using Windows server and SQL (both 2008 R2)
    Windows failover cluster is setup and functioning. I am now installing the SQL failover cluster part.
    Question: What should be the "SQL server network name", should it be the same as my Windows cluster name or different name ?
    Thanks for your help,
    Luca

    It should be different, this is known as the virtual SQL Server name in earlier versions of SQL Server failover clusters.
    SQL Server Network Name —
    Specify a network name for the new SQL Server failover cluster. This is the name that is used to identify your failover cluster on the network.
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179530.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
    This will be the name used to identify your cluster on the network. This is the name that will be available on the
    network for the clients to connect SQL instance.

  • Change Hyper-V 2012 R2 failover cluster management subnet

    Hi,
    We have an existing Hyper-V 2012 R2 Failover cluster.  Virtual machines are live on this cluster.  The networking team has decided to reorganise the network subnets.  As a consequence we need to change the management IPs of our Hyper-V failover
    clusters.
    What are the possibilities?
    Evect 1 node from the cluster, set correct management IP on the evicted cluster. Create a single-node cluster.  Mask a new LUN to the single-host cluster.  Execute a shared nothing live migration of the VMs which are hosted on old cluster.

  • 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'.

  • Missing guest in Failover Cluster

    I have a 3 node Server 2012R2 Hyper-V failover cluster with 18 guests. Today, I migrated a guest from VMWare using my normal method to one of the nodes in the cluster. Upon completion I added a role to the cluster, the guest appeared in the list of available
    Virtual Machines and completed successfully. However, I cannot locate the guest on the list of roles within the cluster.
    If I connect to the individual node that I know the guest is on, using Hyper-V Manager, I can see the guest, but Failover Cluster Manager refuses to see it.
    I have tried this on several workstations, no success.
    Any ideas?  I have used this same technique for all of the hosted guests without issue until now.
    Thanks
    Mike

    Start with this, substituting names as necessary:
    (Get-VM -ComputerName VMHOSTNAME -Name VMNAME).IsClustered
    If that's false, then you'll have to re-add it as a cluster resource. I've never seen a clustered VM uncluster on its own, but that would appear to be what happened to you.
    If it's true, then run this, again substituting as necessary:
    Get-ClusterResource -Cluster CLUSTERNAME
    What you're looking for is any mismatch of "Virtual Machine" types against "Virtual Machine Configuration" types. There should be a 1:1 ratio and you should be able to identify which VM goes with which VM Config. Again, I've never seen these become disjointed,
    but it could happen.
