Setup a Windows Server 2012 Failover Cluster with two hosts and a backend SAS SAN (Dell MD3200 with Dell Dual Port 6Gbps HBAs).
Did a number of tests and failover of VMs from one host to the other worked great in restarting one host or the other. Livemigration and moving storage ownership between the two was working. I was missing a few windows updates on one to have it completely up to date so I did those. Now after restart (and I’ve tried several restarts) the cluster doesn’t come up immediately and it takes about 5 minutes of thinking and trying before it comes up when logged into windows.
Here were the updates done:
KB3042058
KB890830
KB3080446
KB3088195
KB3058163
KB3093983
KB3097966
Should I just try removing one at a time and seeing which culprit caused the issue? Or is there a better way at handling this so that I can still have the windows updates?
