I have a 3 node windows failover cluster which hosts 2 SQL instances and MSDTC cluster role.
The problem I'm having is I'm unable to move a clustered role (SQLV02_GRP) to any other node. The preferred owner for this clustered role is any node. There are no storage or network issues. Other clustered roles and be moved to SQLN05 where SQLV02_GRP is currently hosted.
I have noticed that when I initiate a move for clustered role - SQLV02_GRP only SQL Server and SQL Server Agent becomes failed. Clustered disks and network is all healthy and green.
any suggestions.
Nodes
SQLN03
SQLN04
SQLN05
Witness Disk: Quorum
Clusters Roles (Resources)
- SQLC02DTC
- SQLV01_GRP (Instance Name: SQLV01)
- SQLV02_GRP (Instance Name: MSSQLSERVER)
Below is the clustered role which is unable to move to any other node. Preferred owners set to all nodes.
No issues when running on SQLN05 .. as per below screenshot all green :)
When you move the clustered role to any other node apart from node 5, this is the outcome below.
Status - Failed
Below screenshot which shows SQL Server & SQL Server agent which has failed following a failover to another node.
No issues present with the network as per below.
All nodes are Up as per below screenshot
No issues with storage as well.
Kind regards,
