ERROR_CLUSTER_RESOURCE_PROVIDER_FAILED

ERROR_CLUSTER_RESOURCE_PROVIDER_FAILED means a resource could not come online because one or more provider resources it depends on failed. The top-level resource may be healthy; the dependency chain is the key evidence.

Walk the dependency tree from the failed top-level resource to the first provider resource that went offline. Repairing that provider and validating its health is more useful than repeatedly cycling the dependent resource.

What to check

  • Identify the failing provider resource and inspect its state before retrying the dependent resource.
  • Review resource dependencies, owner node, and the first related error in the cluster log.
  • For disk, network, or name resources, validate the underlying storage, adapter, or directory dependency.
