#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : The cluster will not start -- quorum lost, event 1177 Fix : Repair the cluster network Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/srv-clu-quorum Run as : Elevated PowerShell Expect : 60 minutes Risk : medium Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX Nodes are running but cannot see each other. HOW TO UNDO IT Cluster network roles can be set back with Set-ClusterNetwork. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
