RE: Cluster doesn't failover to other node properly

Hi Marlon,
Only really way to troubleshoot failover problems is by interpreting the
Cluster Log of what's going on between each of the node. Where it gets
hairy, is if you have more than 2 nodes in a Windows 2003 Cluster. Because
you would have to analyze all Cluster Logs simultaneously to interpret the
communication between the nodes, to know exactly where the failure is
occurring.
Title Recommendations:
Hard Copy: Microsoft Windows 2000 Server - Distributed Systems Guide
from the Windows 2000 Resource Kit
Chapter 20 (page 1121) Interpreting Cluster Log
ISBN: 1-57231-805-8
Online Copy:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/2000/server/reskit/
en-us/distsys/part3/dsgch20.mspx
Best way I've seen possible in doing this, would be:
1. Go to the Property of all the resources in that group having problems,
on the Advanced tab se them all to "Do not restart"
2. Do a Move Group from ExchServerA to ExchServerB
3. See which resource is failing.
4. Then open Cluster Log for both nodes side by side and Interpreting them
until you find the failure.
NOTE: Keep in mind that the log are in GMT time zone.
