Hello,
I have created a single node Failover Cluster in Windows Server 2012 R2. When I am trying to add second node to this cluster, it gives the error: “Cluster service on node Node1did not reach the running state. The error code is 0x5b4. For more information check the cluster log and the system event log from node Node1. This operation returned because the timeout period expired.
The server 'Node1.mydomain.com' could not be added to the cluster.
An error occurred while adding node 'Node1.mydomain.com' to cluster 'My_Cluster'.
This operation returned because the timeout period expired.”
I have attached the screenshots of Event ID.
Firewalls are turned off on both servers (Node1 and Node2). I have successfully created single node clusters on both servers, but when I try to add second node, it gives error.
Before starting the creation of new cluster I don't forget to Destroy previous cluster and run "Clear-ClusterNode".
Every time they successfully pass the Validate Configuration Test, but give the error on creating failover cluster.
I'm using the service account which has full permissions on CNU and both nodes, plus it has permissions to create computer accounts in AD.
Can anyone please help?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Hasan Bin Hasib
