ERROR_CLUSTERLOG_CORRUPT

ERROR_CLUSTERLOG_CORRUPT means the cluster service detected corruption in its persistent cluster log. Treat it as evidence of a storage, filesystem, or interrupted-write problem rather than clearing logs first.

What to check

  • Generate fresh diagnostic logs from every node and correlate the first corruption-related event with storage or node failures.
  • Check System and FailoverClustering events for disk, controller, or service-stop events at the same time.
  • Validate the cluster and investigate the underlying storage path before changing cluster configuration.

Important: Do not delete cluster configuration or quorum data merely to remove the error.
