How to add an Hyper-V cluster node with proper naming ?
I’m publishing this article because I ran into the issue lately.
I created an Hyper-V Cluster with 3 Nodes, lets say :
- HYPERV-01
- HYPERV-02
- HYPERV-03
You noticed I used uppercase letters.
In the Failover Cluster, I can see all the nodes as I added them in uppercase letters.
For some reason, I had to remove one node from the cluster and when I added it again using the wizard the name of the node was this one :
- hyperv-03
So after some research, I found out that using the cluster command I could define correctly my node name in the cluster.
To do so, just open Windows Powershell with all modules and enter the following command :
cluster.exe /cluster:CLUSTER-NAME /add /node:HYPERV-03
I hope this helps.
This is most likely due to name resolution. Did you fill out the WINS settings or not on the node.Check DNS if your registerd name is uppercase /lowercase there depending on how the name of the machine is set in properties/Active Directory (upprcase/lower case). This is benign.
