ERROR_CLUSTER_NODE_DOWN

A node marked Down is not currently participating in the cluster. The cause may be a stopped Cluster service, loss of network communication, an operating-system shutdown, or a quorum-driven membership decision.

What to check

  • Check node state and determine whether the node is merely down or has been removed from membership.
  • Review the node and cluster logs at the time it was declared down; look for the first communication, service, or quorum event.
  • Verify network reachability and quorum before forcing any service restart or failover action.
