Question

Hi Experts.

While we are trying to create a cluster via powershell, We are getting error like "The Cluster service is not running. Make sure the services running on the all nodes in the cluster"

I have attached the screenshot as well. Experts please suggest some solution.

If you need the powershell script, I will share it here.

I am waiting for the reply

Answer 1

Hi,

As the error message indicates, the cluster service (clussvc) is not in the Running state. Do you run the Get-Cluster cmdlet on a cluster node? If yes, run cluster validation from the Failover Cluster Manager and see if there is any clue in the validation report. You can follow the steps in the troubleshooting guidance below.

When I was checking the cluster service. It was not running. When I am trying to enable the service. I am getting the below error. I have attached the screenshot. I guess its needs to be running. Could you please help me how to fix this.

I am looking forward to hearing from you

Hi Xue,

As you suggested I ran the Get-Cluster comment. I am getting the below error.

The term 'Get-Cluster' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

I have imported the - Import-Module FailoverClusters. Still I got the error

Answer 5

Do you run Get-Cluster on the same node? The cmdlet is recognized in your screenshots.

Are there any error messages when the FailoverClusters module is imported? Check to see if the cmdlet is included in the commands of the FailoverClusters module.

Get-Command -Module FailoverClusters
