SQL Server 2012 Clustering Errors

Hey Friends,

So till now we have seen the installation and configuration of SQL Server 2012 Clustering in our three part series as Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 of SQL Server 2012 Clustering.

Now let us see few errors which I have faced during the Installation and Configuration of SQL Server 2012 Clustering:

1. Error: Cluster Service verification Failed
    Description: During one of the Server Migration i.e. Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2008       R2

Error-1

Solution: The solution was basically we have run the below command from the power shell:

Install-WindowsFeature -Name RSAT-Clustering-AutomationServer

Basically MsClus.dll library is by default disabled in Windows Server 2012. So by running the above command it enables it which is require for installation of SQL Server 2008 R2 Cluster.

I've got the solution of this from this msdn link.

2. Error: Cluster Service verification Failed
    Description: During one of the Server Migration i.e. Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2008       R2

Solution: 

Follow the below steps:

Copy  C:\Windows\Cluster\Clusres.dll TO C:\Windows\system32 and rename the file to W03a2409.dll

For this error, if you will search in internet you might get multiple solutions. I found this solution is the shortest and best way to resolve the error.

I've got the solution of this from this Microsoft link.
