Recovering One Cluster Node
This section describes how to restore the Cluster Server and cluster database if
one of the cluster nodes fails.
Unexpected software behavior, such as corruption of a cluster-critical file, may
cause a partitioned cluster, in which one node of the cluster is unaware of the
presence of the other operating node. In this situation, each node may attempt
to take control of the shared quorum device, thus potentially rendering one
node unable to function as a member of the cluster.
How to Recover One Cluster Node
The following procedure is based on an example scenario in which Node_B
has failed, and the quorum resource has successfully failed over to Node_A.
The operating system on each node is still intact, and therefore does not
require recovery. The status of MSCS on Node_B is unknown, so it must be
reinstalled (if using Windows 2000) or cleaned up (if using Windows .NET).
