One node of a two node cluster constantly stops and starts with the following errors. They are virtualized in VMWare. Both nodes are on the same host and on the same subnet. The file share witness is accessible from both nodes, permissions are
full control. I can watch the NICs fail in the cluster manager one at a time until the node goes down. This failure only occurs with node 1. This node has been rebuilt once by cloning the base 2012R2 server. Any help is greatly appreciated.
