Problem in add Hyper-V nodes in Failover Cluster on Windows Server

Question

Dear members,

I need your help

I have a problem in Failover Cluster that i try all procedures and cannot fix it.

I will create a Failover Cluster with two nodes of Hyper-V Server 2019 (Bare metal) and validate nodes before create Cluster:

When i added node IRLANDA-HYPER.europa.local, its shows that error:

This is configuration of Hyper-V node:

That error message ask to ensure remote registry service is running and RDP is enabled in Hyper-V.

I fixed both but error stay.

I try that checklist below but error stay:

1. ping OK
2. DNS pointers OK
3. nslookup OK
4. ICMPv4 and v6 OK
5. network mask OK
6. gateway OK
7. RDP enabled OK
8. remote registry service OK

I tried all procedures but cannot fix that error.

I need your help!!

Thanks so much!

Sincerely,
Mario

Hey,

You can try disabling firewall on your nodes and try again. There is a list of ports, which are required to be open for Failover Cluster. Might help: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/495610/windows-server-2019-failover-cluster-manager-how-t

In addition, you can check the remote management is enabled. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/server-manager/configure-remote-management-in-server-manager

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

Hi @Mário Araújo Xavier

If the remote registry is OK and you still have the same issue , in this case it seems network flow issue.

You should check if required ports for remote registry and RDP are opened

Hi Mario,

Hope you're doing well.

Based on your description, this error may be caused by the remote registry service not starting or not enabling remote administration. Here are some steps that might be useful:

1. Make sure that the account logged into the cluster node is Domain Controller Account.
2. Ensure that the "Remote Registry" service is started. You can check the Remote Registry service in the Services application and make sure its status is Running.
3. Ensure that remote management is enabled. You can use the Group Policy Editor to enable remote administration. In the Group Policy Editor, navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Network > Network Connections > Windows Firewall > Domain Profiles > Windows Firewall: Allow Remote Administration Exceptions and set it to Enabled.
4. Check the firewall settings. If you have a firewall enabled on your computer, make sure that the firewall is properly configured to allow remote registry access.

Here is the relevant document for you reference:
