Log Summary of Cluster Formation

When the Cluster service forms a cluster, it does the following:

  • Starts the Resource Monitor, the manager of the cluster's resources.

  • Brings the Quorum resource online.

  • Updates local copies of the cluster database.

  • Recreates groups and resources.

  • Configures the networks, recreates network and interface objects, registers the networks and interfaces with cluster transport, and then brings them online.

  • Brings all resources online.

  • Takes a checkpoint of the cluster database.

And the cluster is formed. Resources continue to be brought online after the cluster formation is reported complete.
