Have a HPC Pack cluster manager running with head node on the server.

Trying to connect to the connect a worker node to the head node and running into issue where head node doesn't see/connect with worker node.

Both server are running windows 2016 running with HPC Pack 2019 update 3.

    Hi Naresh Bhatt,

    On the worker node, look for logs at: *%CCP_HOME%\Data\Logs*

    Event Viewer → Applications and Services Logs → Microsoft → HPC

    Look for errors like:

    Authentication failures

    WCF endpoint issues

    Connection timeouts

    => A common but subtle issue: duplicate machine names in DNS or AD can cause issues with trust and connectivity.

    => If the issue persists, enable verbose logging for HPC Node Manager => Edit the configuration file:

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft HPC Pack 2019\Bin\HpcNodeManager.exe.config

    Add logging config or increase logging level then restart service and observe logs.
