Hi,
I'm having an intresting error on a SQL Cluster
System is 2*Windows 2008 R2 SP1 & SQL 2008 R2 with A/P-cluster configuration.
After a crash which happened by unknown reasons one of the nodes refuses to start. Eventlog gives me the following error:
Eventid: 1574 - The failover cluster database could not be unloaded. If restarting the cluster service does not fix the problem, please restart the machine.
The KB-articles about it hints that I should restart the server. And that has been done. I even had the whole cluster down and started them in diffrent orders without any success.
Furthermore when I look into the HKLM-keys of the registry i can not find the "cluster" entry. Ive been pondering with the idea of exporting the "HKLM\cluster"-key from the living cluster node.
The cluster log clearly gives indications that its something fishy.
