Hi all,
I have two Windows servers 2012 r2 (DB1A and DB1B) where a failover cluster + SQL Server Avalibility Groups used to work. But something went wrong (don't really know what, maybe an aggressive GPO) and the cluster was totally dead.
When I try to rebuild it, I get this kind of warning :
List Disks To Be Validated
Physical disk ab780ec8 is visible from only one node and will not be tested. Validation requires that the disk be visible from at least two nodes. The disk is reported as visible at node: DB1A

No disks were found on which to perform cluster validation tests. To correct this, review the following possible causes:
* The disks are already clustered and currently Online in the cluster. When testing a working cluster, ensure that the disks that you want to test are Offline in the cluster.
* The disks are unsuitable for clustering. Boot volumes, system volumes, disks used for paging or dump files, etc., are examples of disks unsuitable for clustering.
* Review the "List Disks" test. Ensure that the disks you want to test are unmasked, that is, your masking or zoning does not prevent access to the disks. If the disks seem to be unmasked or zoned correctly but could not be tested, try restarting
the servers before running the validation tests again.
* The cluster does not use shared storage. A cluster must use a hardware solution based either on shared storage or on replication between nodes. If your solution is based on replication between nodes, you do not need to rerun Storage tests. Instead, work
with the provider of your replication solution to ensure that replicated copies of the cluster configuration database can be maintained across the nodes.
* The disks are Online in the cluster and are in maintenance mode.
No disks were found on which to perform cluster validation tests.
and when I open the Failover Cluster Manager, I can see the two nodes but can't see anything on the Roles folder, nor Disks.
Of course, SQL Server Availibility Groups is not possible :
The local node is not part of quorum and is therefore unable to process this operation. This may be due to one of the following reasons:
• The local node is not able to communicate with the WSFC cluster.
• No quorum set across the WSFC cluster.
I'm a bit lost. It would be great if someone could help.
