Hi,
This issue could be caused by a corruption over the cluster.
If available, please test to re-join the nodes and see the result.
Run the command in Powershell:
Clear-ClusterNode <nodename> -Force;
Rebooted the server;
Uninstall the failover cluster feature and reboot the server;
Reinstall failover cluster feature;
Try joining the nodes again.

Thanks for your time.
Best regards,
Danny

而关于创建故障转移群集，一般来说，流程应该是这样的:
https://learn.microsoft.com/zh-cn/windows-server/failover-clustering/create-failover-cluster
首先将域控制器，存储服务器，及节点准备好(同样的操作系统，网络配置IP是否重复，节点之间能否互相ping通等，是否加入同一个域);
接着进行验证，排查一些剩余的配置问题；
最后完成故障转移群集的创建。

我建议您在运行验证报告之前，先自行排查上述问题，然后再运行测试报告。

希望能帮到您，
祝好，
Danny

Answer 5

If you're not able to connect to a cluster in Azure Data Explorer, follow these steps.
Ensure the connection string is correct. It should be in the form: https://<ClusterName>.<Region>.kusto.windows.net, such as the following example: https://docscluster.westus.kusto.windows.net.

Ensure you have adequate permissions. If you don't, you'll get a response of unauthorized.
For more information about permissions, see Manage database permissions. If necessary, work with your cluster administrator so they can add you to the appropriate role.

Verify that the cluster hasn't been deleted: review the activity log in your subscription.

Check the Azure service health dashboard. Look for the status of Azure Data Explorer in the region where you're trying to connect to a cluster.

If the status isn't Good (green check mark), try connecting to the cluster after the status improves.
