Here's the problem I'm running into. I've got two nodes... one active and
the other passive. Both are running Windows 2003 SP1. Yesterday, the active
node started alerting me of the following error: The server was unable to
allocate from the system paged pool because the pool was empty. The active
node is still up and it's file share resources are all available but I'm
worried that it'll crash soon due to a possible memory leak.
I rebooted the passive node before I wanted to manually fail over the active
to the passive, however after the reboot, the passive node could not start up
the Cluster Service. The passive node was reporting that it could not
contact the active node hence could not join the cluster. The cluster
service account is fine. I can also ping the heartbeat interface on the
active node from the passive so I feel network communication is working
properly.
I ran clussvc -debug and here was the output.
C:\WINDOWS\Cluster>clussvc -debug

Anyone have any ideas why my passive node cannot communicate with my active
node and join the cluster? Is it because the active node's memory pool is
empty? I tried to get Dell support to help but they can't figure out why the
passive can't join the cluster.
