Hello Guys,

I have created a cluster to configure Hyper-V for 2 Nods, everything was greate and works perfectly, next day the storage hang and the cluster didn't work any more, I have destroyed the cluster the removed the cluster feature from both nods, deleted the cluster-computer from AD and the deleted the storage. after we fixed the storage, I have reconnect the storage, installed the cluster service on both nods, then I have validate the configuration and I had everything green 100%.

while creating the cluster, I faced an issue Unable "to successfully cleanup" I kept trying and removed the anti-virus, restarted the servers manytime, then I ended up to have another error, direclty when I add the server name on the creat cluster wizard, its telling me that the computer I'm adding is joined to cluster.

I think I need to do some cleaning to the previous cluster, can I have some help here ?

Regards..

Nour

Perhaps:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/282227

Cluster node /force

or

cluster node nodename /forcecleanup

Hello Dave,

the command help to start the creation wizard again, but again in the forming  cluster step after about waiting 3 minutes it gave me the error :

"Unable to Successfully Cleanup"

any suggestions ?

Nour

Hello

I don't know if this will help to resolve the issue. I have installed 2 SFP network interface and configured teaming for them, I want to use these interfaces with Hyper-V to have fast networ. is teaming supported with Cluster, it is not the management interface, it will be like a virtual switch for the Hyper-V and it is available on both servers.

Regards..

Nour

Hello

this didn't help me out, I'm able now to add the hyper-v hosts on creating cluster wizard, however, while forming the cluster it took time more than required and it failes, in the reports, it says unable to successfully clean up, any suggestions ?

Regards..

Nour

If the force clean up command followed by a reboot of both nodes exhibits the same issue, I would remove failover clustering feature from both nodes, reboot, reinstall feature etc and see if you can setup cluster.

Hello,

Even removing the cluster feature and restart for both nods didn't work, I'm going to format the servers againa and do the cluster from begining, but I need to use same names, do I need to delete any AD records after dejoining the nods from the domain.

Regards

I have faced same issu longback. please try to stop cluster services and then try that it should work.

Hi All,

I have faced the same issue in Win 2012 after removing cluster.

and trying to recreate it.

Issue : The computer servername.domain is joined to a cluster.

Solution :Start PowerShell with administrative rights and type
get-service -Name "Cluster Service" | Set-Service StartupType Disabled

This works for me

1. Start PowerShell under Administrator

2. Run "Import-Module FailoverClusters"

Dont forget to make sure the cluster service gets set back to Automatic.

Thanks for the post. Until I read this I had completely forgotten that I had manually set the cluster service to automatic start. that was causing all my problems. Once it was set back to disabled everything worked. go figure. helps to follow direction and not just do what I think should be done sometimes.

Thanks again.

Thanks So much Elden ,

Your Solution Worked for me too.

Kripal, Thanks for your article though, which was the basis for the solution.
