Hi,
I have 1 node windows 2012 cluster which is being used for SQL Server 2012 Availability Group. I node Cluster is working fine.
Now i want to add 2nd node in cluster to have Failover Availability Group.
On 2nd Node i have attached Drive and give Same volume as in Node 1.
Node-1 D:\
Node-2 D:\
As in avaialbility group each node has its own disk / NO SHARED DISK.
To add node i open failover manager on Node 1 and click add node, give 2nd node name and add node process started and end with some following warning.
The resource Cluster Disk 1 is not being considered for the disk witness because the resource is not valid as a disk witness.
No appropriate disk could be found for the quorum disk.
Configuring the cluster for no cluster resource.
The cluster has an even number of nodes. Consider changing to the Node and Disk Majority quorum configuration to improve cluster availability.
Node-2 added in cluster but issue is that in failover cluster --> Storage only Node-1 storage show as online and Node-2 Storage show as Offline.
try to bring it online but fail to bring it online.
When i check storage physically on Node 2 its not presented as D:\, when check in disk management it show as reserved.
please tell what could be an issue and how to fix it.
thx
