what happens if i delete everything under Q:\MSCS? what will happen?
Don't do that. Whacking your registry checkpoint would be a bad idea. \ "nobody" wrote in message news:uBKNM8uMIHA.4740@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > what happens if i delete everything under Q:\MSCS? > > what will happen? >
this is a test cluster. I want to break it and rebuild. how do I break a cluster and do a restore?

Evict all the nodes, then on the last node do a /forcecleanup "nobody" wrote in message news:uvlsjAwMIHA.5160@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > this is a test cluster.

don't do it but if you only want to test, and only on a test cluster - delete your Q:\MSCS content (might not be that easy, as cluster will have handles open to this disk and files) I think you can do the following to restore functionality 1) shutdown all nodes but 1 2) on the working node, make sure cluster service is not started 3) open a CMD prompt 4) goto c:\windows\cluster 5) start the cluster service on the CMD line like this "clussvc.exe /resetquorumlog /debug" this will start the cluster service and it will rewrite the quorum. This is a "single node mode" so you will not be able to start the other nodes 6) open cluadmin and check all is OK and close again. 7) hit (CTRL)-C in the CMD window to stop clussvc 8) start cluster service using services control panel 9) open cluadmin and check all is OK 10) start other nodes (1 by 1) and check if you can move groups up/down <begin-obvious-warning> again, for testing on a test cluster do NOT do this on your product <end-obvious-warning> please note there are different command line switches /fixquorum -- will not rewrite a new quorum, but will try to fix a corrupted quorum /noquorumlogging -- will allow you to run clussvc without a quorum (you can open cluadmin and fix things) Have fun, Rgds, Edwin.

I tried shutting down one node. then stopped the cluster service on second node but when i tried to start with clussvc.exe /resetquorumlog /debug I get this errorr C:\WINDOWS\Cluster>clussvc.exe /resetquorum [CS] The Cluster service account is missing required user rights. Check the syst em event log for information on how to correct this problem. This account is missing required user rights to run the Cluster service. Check the system event log for information on how to correct this problem.

The user you are logged on as does not have the appropriate rights. Try logging on with a more priviledged account, or the actual account that is running the cluster service "nobody" wrote in message news:%23H06yXtNIHA.4832@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > I tried shutting down one node. then stopped the cluster service on second > node > > but when i tried to start with > > clussvc.exe /resetquorumlog /debug > > I get this errorr > > > > C:\WINDOWS\Cluster>clussvc.exe /resetquorum > [CS] The Cluster service account is missing required user rights.
