Hi,
I am unable to start the Cluster Service on Windows Server 2019. I get the below error
Windows could not start the Cluster Service on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 2.
From the Event Viewer, I could see the below
Error 1
The cluster database could not be loaded. The file may be missing or corrupt. Automatic repair might be attempted.
Error 2
The Cluster Service service entered the stopped state.
Error 3
The Cluster Service service terminated with the following service-specific error:
The system cannot find the file specified.
Error 4
The Cluster Service service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 197 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 15000 milliseconds: Restart the service.
I uninstalled the Cluster feature and install again but the issue persists.
