Settings and conditions by default

Add possible Owner to a Cluster Shared Volume

Operation has failed.

The action ‘Move to node <nodename>’ did not complete

Error code: 0×80071398. The operation failed because either the specified cluster node is not the owner of the group, or the node is not a possible owner of the group



Uh OH.. I have had enough problems with this cluster/SAN/CSV’s (that’s anther story put is this way one of the CSV’s ‘lost’ it’s partition information). I surmised that because the CSV’s were not presented to the server when it joined the cluster it may not had updated the “Possible Owners list” and sure enough this server was missing a few command laster and were are back in business.

note command needs to run from a Admin commpand prmpt



To tell who are the possible owners run:

Cluster res <resource name> /listowners



To to add a server to the list

Cluster res <resource name> /addowner :<servername>
