One of my friend reached to me instantly get one possible help of Windows Fail-over cluster Installation. During his fail-over cluster installation, he could not join the secondary node to the Fail-over cluster. The error, which we are getting to configure the Fail-over cluster was
Error: “Could not detect if cluster feature is installed on the remote node.”
We carefully followed the following trouble shooting steps.
1. Crosschecked the Windows Fail-over cluster Feature was enabled in the both the nodes.
2. Checked the Ports was enabled between the clusters. Later we found Ports were not opened. The port 3343 was unopen in the firewall.
Make sure the following ports are open for cluster communication.
| Application | Protocol | Ports |
| Cluster Service | UDP and DTLS1 | 3343 |
| Cluster Service | TCP | 3343 (This port is required during a node join operation.) |
| RPC | TCP | 135 |
| Cluster Administrator | UDP | 137 |
| Randomly allocated high UDP ports2 | UDP | Random port number between 1024 and 65535 Random port number between 49152 and 655353 |
