Cluster: Not Reachable On UDP Port 3433

KB ID 0001621

Problem

Seen on a Microsoft Hyper-V failover cluster (Server 2019);

Network Interfaces {Node-Name} {Interface-Name} and {Node-Name} {Interface-Name} are on the same cluster network, yet address {IP-Address} is not reachable from {IP-Address} using UDP port 3433

Solution

I’ve seen this error before, and usually you just need to disable the firewall or open UDP port 3433 and then re-validate the cluster (job done). However, in my case the following was true;

  • All IP addresses could ‘ping’ the IP addresses that it was telling me it could not communicate with.
  • All local firewalls were turned off on the domain profile.
  • No AV was running, or third party firewalls were installed.

There seemed to be no reason for this, I disabled and re-enabled the ‘Live migration’ NIC and 50% of the links ‘went green’ but then the Live Migration link said ‘partitioned‘ 🙁

In the end, (even though the cluster was in a failed state) I moved all my VMs onto one Host, then ran Windows update, and bounced the server, then repeated the process on the other host and the problem went away. I don’t know it it was a bug/update/driver problem, but fingers crossed it’s been OK since.
