SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Cluster Service stops responding during startup when Server for NFS is installed and running. When a Windows cluster node restarts, the cluster service may record an event in the event log that states that the cluster database is corrupted.



CAUSE
Server for NFS keeps an open handle to the cluster database even when Microsoft Cluster Service is not running.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
After the hotfix is installed, Server for NFS will open a handle to the cluster database only if the cluster service is running. If the cluster service is not running, Server for NFS will periodically check the status of the cluster service to determine whether it was started. This process is to make sure that the replication of the configuration data to all cluster nodes occurs.
