Hi Team,
I have 2 node windows failover cluster (running SQL Failover instances). I wanted to add another node (3rd node) from DR site to existing Windows Cluster. If i try from Node 1 and Node 2 in primary datacenter, while adding node 3, 'Add node Wizard' error with 'Failed to access remote registry on <Node 3 name> . Ensure that the remote registry service is running and have remote administrator enabled'.
If i open failover cluster Manager on node 3 in DR site, connects to the existing cluster, try to add node 3 , it connects and start with the next step of validation.
I am wondering if these is any mandatory rule to add any nodes only through primary node i.e. first node from where Node 2 was added or new nodes can be added from any node's Faiolver Cluster Manager participating in cluster ?
Regards,
