AnswerCompute node stuck in "Provisioning" state

    Hi,

    I am trying to setup a compute node with Windows HPC Server 2008.  After changing the network topology, I have a compute node that is stuck in the "Provisioning" state.
    I have tried the following to get it unstuck:

    * Rebooted both the head node and the compute node.
    * Tried to use the Cluster Manager UI to cancel the operations.  But the "Cancel" option is greyed out.

    The problem is that when a node is in this state, it can't even be deleted (which would allow me to start over!).

    Any ideas on how to get out of this?

    Thanks,

    Brian

    Hi,

    usually you don't want to do that :-).

    Try set-hpcnodestate -force  -state offline -name <nodename> inside the powershell on the headnode.
    It might take a reboot to do so but it should work in the current release.

    PS: I had the same problem but currently I cannot find  the thread that covered this.

    With a little help, I did figure something out that works (although it is now pretty).  I uninstalled and reinstalled the HPC pack and things are fine.

    Cheers,

    Brian
