Re: [ActiveDir] OT : Problems with joing W2K cluster (SP2), error code 5036

[Bart Van den Wyngaert]

Hi Jose,

 

I'm going to work during the weekend on this issue.

Reason is that the first node is up and running at this moment and serving all cluster resources. As it concerns production, we can not just take it offline to investigate further on the second node. That's why during the weekend.

Planned to do is take the first node offline and then try get the second one up and running. As the first is being down at that moment, the second node can access the disks etc.

I'll let you know what happened/found/etc.

 

Best regards,

Bart

Hi Jose,

 

I've checked and the remote registry service is up and running on both nodes.

 

However I've got some hints in the link you sent, I'm going to look into it deeper today and get back to you with some feedback!

 

Thanks,

Bart

I am interested to know what you find is causing the problem.

Hi,

 

Yes I've found this evening an article about the remote registry service. I think that it is always started, but I'm going to check in the morning to be 100% sure. It would be strange, as we never have experienced this issue and I don't see why somebody else would have stopped this service. Nevertheless I will check it...

 

The second node was already in the domain. Some weeks ago we started to have problems with corrupted quorum. Since then several people have worked on the servers, but I didn't receive a status... I found them with the first node running, the second was evicted but the cluster service was still installed. I removed it, reboot, reinstalled it and then it failed at the end of the wizard with that error code. Since then not much progress...

 

While working on these machines, we were always using a functional account with the proper rights (checked all rights conform MS article).

 

Thanks,

Bart

Hmm.. I've only seen that if the cluster service is not started on the first node, or if the remote registry service has also not started.

 

I know this sounds like a stupid question, but did you join the second node to the domain and reboot prior to trying to join  it to the first cluster node?

Hi all,

We're having a problem with (re)joining a node into a cluster (W2K SP2) after some issues with the cluster.
When trying to join, the node is added in the cluster, but when starting the service at the end of the configuration wizard, it returns error 5036 (A cluster node is not available for this operation).

This also is being returned afterwards when retrying to start the service. Cluster service is running properly on the first node.

Now I can't find any solution offer when having this issue, and no idea where to look to resolve this issue… The only article found specificely about this error is on the MS site, but it concerns Application Center which is not installed in this case.

There is also an error logged at the first node, but I don't have the precies error message available here at home. I will look it up tomorrow.

Does anybody has information about this error? Or suggestions?

MTIA
