Hi Team,
I keep getting this alert very often twice in a Day from OP manager
"Cluster resource 'File Share Witness' "\\fileshare name" in clustered service or application 'Cluster Group' failed."
Started recently after a DR upgrade on all of the systems
DAG setup
5 in active and 4 in passive
Node and file share majority setup
I can see the fileshare and the alternate fileshare is accessible . The Cname has permission on the fileshare.
There is no issues with the DAG IP as well all are reachable and assigned correctly with the right IPS and subnets
exchange 2010
I checked the following things
1) Ran Get-DatabaseAvailabiltyGroup and im not able to find any issues
2)Ran Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus and i dont have any unhealthy copies
3) I'm able to perform a manual failover to my DR site without any issues , however not sure about the automatic failover
My DAG keeps showing red all the times in the OP manager which i suspect definitely there is some issues with the automatic Failover.
I noticed 1 thing
The NIC binding is not in correct order in the DR site. May be this is causing the issue ?
When i run Get-ClusterGroup and Get-ClusterResource i can see all the resources are online without any issues
I can see only these 2 events in the cluster logs only for my DR servers
The Cluster service failed to bring clustered service or application 'Cluster Group' completely online or offline. One or more resources may be in a failed state. This may impact the availability of the clustered service or application.
File share witness resource 'File Share Witness (\\fileshare)' failed to arbitrate for the file share '\\fileshare'. Please ensure that file share '\\fileshare' exists and is accessible by the cluster.
Any help towards the same is much appreciated
