Forcequorum command

The forcequorum command restores quorum for a majority node set server cluster that has lost quorum. This command is useful if a partition of a geographically dispersed server cluster (for example all the nodes in one location) has lost communication with the nodes at another location.

The syntax is:

clussvc /debug /forcequorum node list

For example, to start the cluster service on nodes Node1, Node2, and Node3, type:

clussvc /debug /forcequorum Node1,Node2,Node3

Important

  • When you force quorum in a majority node set cluster, an error message from the Service Control Manager may appear, indicating that the Cluster service failed to start. You can safely ignore this message at this time; the Cluster service will continue startup after the end of the startup timeout period for Service Control Manager.
