Hi ,

have you checked the two log files mentioned in the screenshot to see what the actual error is? If you can attach them here we can probably check them and see if there is anything that stands out.

Cheers

Assuming there’s nothing helpful in those logs, try the following:

1. Check that there are adequate system resources (CPU isn’t maxed out, RAM and disk space)
2. Stop then start both of the Windows services for one of the failed instances.
3. Run the mws-svr STOP then START commands again for that same instance.

I see something similar from time to time on the NodeManager rather than the HTTPServer, and the above generally works to fix.  Just be sure to do one at a time to minimize the startup overhead.

Is it the first time that you are trying to start these clusters? If this is the case, it is possible that there are some corruption in the cluster. Try to recreate the cluster using a newly generated cluster.zip file. Make sure you follow the process correctly.

We had an issue after applying an update patch, where it knocked out the http server on all clustered nodes. Node 1 was not affected. We are on v9 so may not be what you are experiencing, but worth a mention.

Despite this the additional nodes were still able to service users.

Looking forward to learning from the solution for this one.

Sorry for the delayed gratitude.  After resolving the problem I have been out of the office for a few days.

The problem here was down to lack of diskspace which was compounded by a very large  MainServer1.out log file that was apparently 9Gb in size.

Luckily, we were are only in testing.

Our solution was to resolve clear down this file which allowed us to start the other MWS servers.

We have also increased the size of the drive.

@johnw66 - good news, happy to have helped!
