issue with listener creation

  • HI There,

    i am trying to create a listener in a mutisite cluster setup.

    there is 2 nodes in 2 separate locations. the cluster is fine. i was able to create an availability group without issue.

    the issue comes when i try to create the listener. i used the listener wizard with no success, the error i received is as follows:

    The WSFC cluster could not bring the Network Name resource with DNS name '' online.

    The DNS name may have been taken or have a conflict with existing name services,

    or the WSFC cluster service may not be running or may be inaccessible. Use a different DNS name to resolve name conflicts,

    or check the WSFC cluster log for more information.

    The attempt to create the network name and IP address for the listener failed. The WSFC service may not be running or may

    be inaccessible in its current state, or the values provided for the network name and IP address may be incorrect.

    Check the state of the WSFC cluster and validate the network name and IP address with the network administrator.

    in my attempts to try and resolve the issue i have had the listener object created. i have also ensured that cluster object has read\write privs on the OU container but yet i still get the error when i run the sql:

    USE [master]

    GO

    ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP [AG]

    ADD LISTENER N'AGLISTENER' (

    WITH IP

    ((N'Primary IP', N'255.255.254.0'),

    (N'Secondary IP', N'255.255.252.0')

    )

    , PORT=1433);

    GO

    i am not sure what steps i can now take to try and resolve the issue.

    has anyone encountered this issue before and if they got it resolved?

    Thanks in advance

  • If you pre-created the computer object in AD that you want the listener to use ensure you give the WSFC computer object full control of the listener object.
