Windows Failover Cluster failing
Posted by: Ron Oley

I have two Windows Server 2012 R2 servers and I'm trying to set up a failover cluster.

I followed this guide:
https://www.mysql.com/why-mysql/white-papers/mysql-with-windows-server-2008-r2-failover-clustering/

I have MySQL 5.6 installed as a service on both machines. Both machines can access the shared storage. The cluster validation passes all tests.

The service runs fine on Node 1, but when I try to fail over to Node 2 it says it's successful (Failover Cluster manager shows it running, MySQL service says it's running) but the MySQL database is not reachable. Can't connect with applications or workbench.

When I fail back over to Node 1 it begins working again.

I'm not sure which logs to check at this point; my knowledge of MYSQL is limited.

I tried disabling the firewall to see if it was just a connection issue. No luck.

One thing I noticed is that Node 1 has about 20GB of stuff in the C:\Programdata\mysql folder that Node 2 doesn't have. Not sure if that's related.

Anyone have any ideas?
