An error occurred while creating the cluster and the nodes will be cleaned up. Please wait...

Hi,

I'm trying to deploy a Cluster with two nodes (WServer 2019 both / Domain Joined / Fresh Install) but it fails. Attach the creation's report:

Beginning to configure the cluster CLUSTERNAME.

Initializing Cluster CLUSTERNAME.

Validating cluster state on node NODE01.TEST.AR.

Searching the domain for computer object 'CLUSTERNAME'.

Find a suitable domain controller for node NODE01.TEST.AR. The specified server cannot perform the requested operation.

Operation failed, attempting cleanup.

An error occurred while creating the cluster and the nodes will be cleaned up. Please wait...

There was an error cleaning up the cluster nodes. Use Clear-ClusterNode to manually clean up the nodes.

An error occurred while creating the cluster.
An error occurred creating cluster 'CLUSTERNAME'.

The specified server cannot perform the requested operation

To troubleshoot cluster creation problems, run the Validate a Configuration wizard on the servers you want to cluster.

I tried the prestage process but it fails as well.
I'm carrying out this deployment using Administrator account which is Domain Admin.

Could anyone please help?

Kind regards.

But that would happen in a working cluster. What I'm reporting happens when I try to create the cluster.
It doesn't make sense.

The two nodes have 2 different IP and cluster IP to setup as well.

IP addresses start with 168 may not work.

Hi,
It seems that the IPs are correct.
Would you try pinging the nodes from each other?
If it goes normally, try turning off firewall.
If the issue still remain after all these, try updating the network adaptor driver, and restart it.

Hope this will help.
Thanks and best regards,
Danny

Hi Danny,

I had already tried turning off the firewall, no success.
As for drivers, I updated them and it doesn't still work.

Best,

Hi,
This is rare. It seems that this case might need more deep investigation.
Since log analysis is not within the forum scope, I would suggest that you contact Microsoft Customer Support and Services where more in-depth investigation can be done so that you would get a better solution to this issue. In addition, if the issue has been proved as system flaw, the consulting fee would be refund. You may find phone number for your region accordingly from the link below.

Thanks for your understanding.
Best regards,
Danny

Hey,

Cluster object can be prestaged and permission can be granted in the AD DS prior to cluster creation. Might be helpful: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/failover-clustering/prestage-cluster-adds

In addition, ports for failover cluster should be opened on the firewall. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/networking/service-overview-and-network-port-requirements

Might also help: https://www.starwindsoftware.com/resource-library/starwind-virtual-san-for-hyper-v-2-node-hyperconverged-scenario-with-windows-server-2016/
