Hi.
My servers:
srv001 = win2k12 datacentre, srv002 = win2k12 datacentre, srv003 = win2k12R2 datacentre.
My problem:
srv001 and srv001 have been successfully running in a 2 node Hyper-v cluster for more than a year. I now want to add srv003 to the cluster so I can move all the vm's to it and then rebuild srv001 and srv002 to the same version and join them again. I am trying to join srv003 to the cluster but it fails. Validation fails but only on OS versions, cpu difference and some disks that are offline. These should not be problems. I have tried disabling the firewall to check as well. Validation states firewall configs are correct.
The error:
Cluster service on node SRV003 did not reach the running state. The error code is 0x5b4. For more information check the cluster log and the system event log from node SRV003. This operation returned because the timeout period expired.
The server 'SRV003.domain.com' could not be added to the cluster.
An error occurred while adding node 'SRV003.domain.com' to cluster 'hvpcluster'.
Eventlog:
Cluster node SRV003 could not to join the cluster because it failed to communicate over the network with any other node in the cluster. Verify the network connectivity and configuration of any network firewalls.
This operation returned because the timeout period expired
Any help appreciated.
