physical nodes and VMs -windows cluster

  • Can we add physical nodes and VMs to windows cluster?

  • you may have a windows server failover cluster that employs physical and virtual nodes

  • Thanks Perry. I am currently experiencing issues while adding a vm to a 2 node windows cluster box. The cluster validation test goes fine, but while adding the node it fails with the below error--

    Cluster service on node xxx did not reach the running state. The error code is 0x5b4. For more information check the cluster log and the system event log from node xxx. This operation returned because the timeout period expired.

    Unable to successfully cleanup.

    The server 'xxx.domainname.com' could not be added to the cluster.

    An error occurred while adding node 'xxx.domainname.com' to cluster 'yyyy'.

    This operation returned because the timeout period expired

  • if you're getting a timeout sounds like either a firewall or issue in the networking stack. Is the cluster validation report completely clean?

  • There are few warnings which can be ignored. I also found the following error in cluster errors--

    Security Handshake between local and remote endpoints 'xxxx-xxxx' did not complete in '40' seconds, node terminating the connection

  • check the windows event log and the cluster events too

  • One more error from event viewer which I could not understand--

    node cleanup the local user account that is managed by the cluster was not deleted cluster

  • check everything, the networking between the nodes, the networking between the domain controller and the node, also the permission level of the user running the add node operation
