Cause

There is an issue with the failover-cluster owner.

Résolution

Change the failover-cluster owner.

To modify the failover settings for a clustered service or application:
  1. In the Failover Cluster Manager snap-in, if the cluster that you want to configure is not displayed, in the console tree, right-click Failover Cluster Manager, click Manage a Cluster, and then select or specify the cluster that you want.
  2. If the console tree is collapsed, expand the tree under the cluster that you want to configure.
  3. Expand Services and Applications.
  4. Right-click the service or application that you want to modify the failover settings for, and then click Properties.
  5. To configure failback, on the General tab, change settings for preferred owners, then click the Failover tab and choose options under Failback.
You must configure a preferred owner if you want failback to occur (that is, if you want a particular service or application to fail back to a particular node when possible).
  1. To configure the number of times that the cluster service should attempt to restart or fail over a service or application in a given time period, click the Failover tab and specify values under Failover.

Informations supplémentaires

Modify the Failover Settings for a Clustered Service or Application.
