Windows Failover Cluster (Errors retrieving file shares)

I'm having an issue with Windows Failover Cluster with a Windows Server 2012 R2 machine. I have two cluster nodes (nodeA and nodeB). My issue is that when nodeA is the owner node, and I open failover cluster manager <clusterName> >>
roles >> <fileserver role> >> shares tab it will hang and say that it is loading, but this will occur infinitely. Although when I go to nodeB (not the owner node) and I go to shares it will show me all of the shares that I have. Next when
I go to <clusterName> >> Nodes >> click on Roles tab the information says "There were errors retrieving file shares."
Now when I switch the nobeB to the owner node, I cannot view the shares on that machine but can now view them on nodeA.
We alse have a test network where I have recreated the machines, environment and the failover cluster to as close as the production network as I can except everything works great in the test network

For anybody searching on this later...
I was getting "There were errors retrieving file shares" no matter which node of my cluster
owned the fileshare service. Turns out my problem was that my servers don't have internet access and I had set a system proxy. The fix described in the link below was to exclude the local domain from the proxy.

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.

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.

MS- WIN SERVER 2008-R2 FAILOVER CLUSTER --ERROR 1127 ,1583

DEARS ,
I HAVE BEEN FACING PROBLEM FOR MY WINDOWS FAIL OVER CLUSTER SCENARIO.
THE ERROR CODES ARE 1127 AND 1583 WHICH ARE STATING THAT
All nodes IPv4 networks should be configured properly.
Nodes which are using Automatic Private IP Address (APIPA) for adapter Cluster.will not be added to the Windows Failover Cluster. If the adapter is to be used by Windows Failover Cluster, the IPv4 properties of the adapter should be changed to allow assignment
of a valid IP address that is not in the APIPA range.
However , I have checked that all of my NIC adapters have valid Static IP addresses. Also , when one of the nodes is down ,it cannot look for another node.
Please advise for the solution.

Hi,
Could you clarify your described “Nodes which are using Automatic Private IP Address (APIPA) for adapter Cluster.will not be added to the Windows Failover Cluster.” Did you
found one of your cluster node “automatically” have the APIPA address? If so, it seems is the IP conflict issue.
If it is not the IP address conflict issue, please try to disable your all the nodes firewall
or AV soft have the event 1583 typically cause by this function incorrect configured.

Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise SP2- File Share suddently no one can access. After reboot, it is back normal. Why?

We have file server, which is using windows 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition, Service Pack 2. Today suddently no one can access its file share. I try to login to the server and open services, but it is so slow to respond. I have to reboot the machine. After the
server reboot, it is back normal. Any one know why?
Here are the system errors shown before the machine rebooted. First question, I am not sure which error really causes the problem. The machine is set to use WSUS to get windows update. On the automatic updates, it is set to "Download updates
for me, but let me choose when to install them." Second question, why the machine is still trying to install update without permission? Please help. Thanks.

Hi,
As you mentioned, users suddenly cannot access file share, the issue most likely caused by third party software, such as antivirus software. Please refer to the thread below to troubleshoot the issue:
File share become inaccessible

For your second question, you can Configure Automatic Updates group policy and choose
Auto download and notify for install. This option automatically begins downloading updates and then notifies a logged-on administrative user prior to installing the updates
For more detailed information, please refer to the article below:

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.

CAS. NLB or Windows failover cluster

Hi.
Tell me please. Can i use Windows failover clustering for CAS?
Now i use NLB for CAS and Windows failover cluster for DAG.
I want create a one more cluster for two CAS servers (disable NLB).
What is the difference for CAS between NLB and Windows failover clustering?
Thanks.

Yeah, failover cluster is not recommended. There are three basic options for load balancing Exchange 2013 CAS:
DNS Round Robin
Windows NLB
L4 Load Balancer
Round Robin is the easiest, but doesn't really do load balancing, or check that the servers are up.
NLB will load balance and check that servers are up, but won't protect against service level failures. There are also some other down sides with NLB (see second link below).
The load balancer is generally the way to go, as is much easier to configure on Exchange 2013 than 2010, due to the session affinity changes in CAS (technically, L7 load balancer was needed for 2010). Obviously, this is not a free option.
Here are a few links that are good to read:
http://www.msexchange.org/articles-tutorials/exchange-server-2013/high-availability-recovery/introducing-load-balancing-exchange-server-2013-part1.html

Do SameSubnetDelay or SameSubnetThreshold setting need restart windows failover cluster ?

Hi ,
I set SameSubnetDelay=2000 and SameSubnetThreshold = 10,but after a failover, when i check the cluster log, we still found SameSubnetDelay and SameSubnetThreshold use default setting.
So i want to konw do these settings need restart windows failover cluster core resource group to take effect?
Our windows version: Windows 2008 R2 SP1
Many thanks.

Thanks for your reply.
After set up new values for these two settings , i checked the values use "cluster /prop " command, it indeed show new values.
But after a sql server cluster instance failover, i checked the cluster log to find the cause of failover ,in the cluster log it showed default values for these settings. There were two times like this.
I will keep watching this, and next time i will post the setting values and cluster log.

Windows Server 2012R2 Failover Cluster error with mounted volumes

Hi all,
I've a problem with mounted volume on a WSFC build on top of Windows Server 2012R2, the situation is:
M: is the volume hosting mounting points
disk-1, disk-2, disk-3 are volume mounted on M:\SomeFolder
Theese volumes are used by a SQL Server Failover Cluster Instance, but my problem is related to WSFC. I've set dependencies so disk-1, disk-2, disk-3 depend upon H:
If I try a failover of the role "SQL Server" I observe that when the disk come online in the other node they fail with this error:
Cluster resource 'disk-1' of type 'Physical Disk' in clustered role 'SQL Server (ISQL2014A)' failed. The error code was '0xaa' ('The requested resource is in use.').
Based on the failure policies for the resource and role, the cluster service may try to bring the resource online on this node or move the group to another node of the cluster and then restart it. Check the resource and group state using Failover Cluster
Manager or the Get-ClusterResource Windows PowerShell cmdlet.
If I manually take offline H: and than bring it online and then manually take online all disk (1 to 3) they come online with no error.
I'm going crazy!

I've found the root of the problem: the servers are virtual machine on a VMware ESX 5.5 infrastructure, VMware claims that on 5.5 multipath is supported for raw device mapping disks but disabling multipath (I've set to fixed path) the Windows Server Failover
Cluster stops to get problems.
Now we have opened a support call with VMware.

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.
Recommended hotfixes for Windows Server 2008-based server clusters
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957311
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
