    Can you check if any of the SQL binaries on this specific node have deleted / tampered with?

    You can compare them against the folder in other cluster node where cluster resources were online without any issues

    Thanks

    Hi Sethu 

    thanks for your info , how  i will confirm like the file got tampered , i had counted the files and its seems same ....  i thing symantec AV made some trouble , even our backup software also got corrupted that we reinstalled , now i basically fear to touch the node because its in cluster ... somewhere i had read like reinstallation of sql native client will solve the problem .....  how i can do that without disturbing the cluster .... i mean now both the sql instance running on other node ... i doubts like weather its disturb other node

    Hi binoyedl,


    Could not load the DLL xpstar90.dll, or one of the DLLs it references. Reason: 126(The specified module could not be found.).

    By looking at the error messages, the DLL xpstar90.dll may be corrupt and not available. You could replace the DLLxpstar90.dll from other computer which is installed the same version and edition SQL Server.

    If it is not work for you, you could uninstall SQL Native client from Add remove program and reinstall it. In addition, you could try to install the latest SQL Server Service Pack to see that if it would be work.


    Thanks,
    Maggie

    Hi,

    Now since everything is on single node therefore there is no point in having another node attached to this cluster which is not getting online.

    I would advise you to remove this node from cluster & re install the sql server ( same version as other node and ideally with same hardware config). Apply the latest patch and then re add this to cluster back.Confirm failover is working fine between the nodes.

    Ideally it is recommended to exclude sql server data files .mdf,.ndf & .ldf and sql server backup files .bak from the antivirus scan as they can hold the files during scan and can cause issues and file corruption.

    Not sure if it can impact sql binaries or dll's too.

    Regards, Vishal Srivastava
