Hi there,
I have two exch2013cu21 std servers (Server A & B) in two differnet locations with DAG.
Recently found that server B with eventid 7031 shown cluster service has issue.
I cannot start the service manually. It shown “service-specific error code 2”.
Stupid enough, somehow I run “cluster node /force” into Server A wrongly. Then email service stopped.
Server A cluster service same as Server B, stopped and unable to start manually.
Eventually I have to create new cluster in Failover Cluster Manager (old name: DAG1; new name with new IP: DAG3) then the cluster service started. I can mount the database in EAC manually. The email services back to normal.
However there's still some abnormaly. Server A & B cannot connect back DAG1 in Failover Cluster Manager (nothing shown after click “connect to cluster”), but EAC shown DAG1 normal.
How can I connect DAG1 back to Failover Cluster Manager and remove DAG3 in Failover Cluster Manager?
Now what's the most appropriate method to fix?
Connect DAG1 back to Failover Cluster Manager & remove DAG3 in Failover Cluster Manger?
Create new DAG3 in EAC & remove DAG1 in EAC?
Many thx!
