I have several sites connect with Cisco ASAs all running Windows Server 2012r2 and for example I can setup a failover cluster from site 1(serverX) to site 3 (serverY), from serverX to serverX1 on the same site, and serverZ to serverZ1 on site 2. The issue is when I try setup a failover cluster from site 2 to the other sites.
example 1
try to setup a failover cluster from site 2 VM serverZ to Site 1 VM ServerX.
Running Cluster Validation with all test will immediately freeze up on "List Disk" At 0%
Running Cluster Validation with all but Storage will finish with only warnings. example is I have one network connection so it is warning about single point of failure.
when I continue with creating the cluster it will then lock up on getting Network Topology. Box to enter Cluster name stays grayed out and subnets never show up.
Networks are
10.19.0.0/12 site 1
10.35.0.0/12 Site 2
10.53.0.0/16 Site 3
10.54.0.0/16 Site 4....
Example 2
created cluster with two server from site 2 serverZ and serverZ1 worked fine
add serverX from site 1
hangs up at "configure the Cluster"
errors I see here in Event Viewer - FailoverClustering-Client-Diagnostic is:
ApiQueryValue exited with cluster_error = 234
ApiClusterControl exited with cluster_error = 234
Other then the above I can't find any logs for the cluster Wizard
My Cisco ASA guy said all the ports are open for site to site communication.
Firewalls on the server are all turned off.
I also get the same result if I run the Cluster wizard from Site 1 serverX to Site 2 serverZ
I am at my wits end. I have tried different server on site 2 with the same result. I am having the same issue with Exchange DAGs on this site.
any suggestion for the issue or ideas to get better log data for the create cluster wizard?
Thanks
