Failed to determine the mount status of the active database copy

 

Issue failed to mount the database , Database can't be mounted on server.

Failed to determine the mount status of the active database copy. Verify that the underlying cause of the error has been corrected before attempting to mount the database. The error can be ignored and the mount allowed if Mount-Database is issued with the -Force switch

image

On the problem server open services.msc  console

image

Find cluster services and re-start

image

You could also use PS, to find out the service name

Get-Service |more

 

image

image

Once you figure out the service name

Restart-Service ClusSVC

image

Try to mount the DB after successful re-start of the cluster service
