I am still trying to find the HCL for clustering, but here are the errors I
get in the event logs

Cluster service could not join an existing server cluster and could not form
a new server cluster. Cluster service has terminated.

The Cluster Service service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 3
time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 240000
milliseconds: Restart the service.

Windows cannot unload your classes registry file - it is still in use by
other applications or services. The file will be unloaded when it is no
longer in use.

Thanks,

Ajay
