How To Fix – NFS Cluster Resource / 14202 Error in Windows Failover Cluster Manager

 The below short article wrote help to fix the 14202 errors in windows failover cluster – Titled “How-To Fix windows Failover cluster 14202 Event ID error”. Issue deals fixing One of the Cluster resources failed to start with this error in FCM (Failover Cluster Manager). It can be NFS / someother fileshare/disk based resource hosted on FCM.
Cluster Resource Failure
Upon looking at the Resources of this Failed Cluster resource, you can see that NFS/resource related to this is in failed state.
Resource Failed -1
To see what’s causing the issue with NFS/related resource failures, you have to go to Cluster events to know more about the error cause.
Cluster Error Logs_Events
Now you see that NFS-HyperV-FS is not dependent on disk resource G:\shares\NFS-FS, so it is failing to get the cluster resource online as there is no dependencies for the NFS share we’ve configured to use for this NFS cluster resource. NFS file share works when it has dependencies/resources allocated to it.
Go to NFS resource properties as below and create dependency on the drive/share as below:
Cluster Dependency missing

Now, click on Empty Resource field and drop down the menu there to select Cluster Disk/Disk presented to the NFS/Cluster resource in FCM (if there is only one filed here in Resource, Add One as required; click Insert to add empty fields). In my case Cluster Disk 3 is the one that is hosting the NFS shares. Click AND property to have the resource dependent on Disk explicitly; this means disk and NFS object name should be online to get the resource working (of course, if CNO (Cluster Name Object) alone is online, no use as share drive is offline:) )
Cluster dependency set
So now we’ve set the Cluster DIsk 3/NFS share disk and HyperV-FS; that is computer object name for accessing the NFS. This should solve the dependency problem and help get the cluster resource online. Now try bringing the NFS resource online again from FCM and this should work now:)
Fixed NFS cluster
Please let me know if you have any questions/trouble fixing this kind of errors. You can always comment if you have issues with Failover Clusters in Windows or VMware.\
