I have a SQL Server 2008 cluster with 2 nodes. I rebooted both machines and now I CANNOT start the SQL Server service from:

 Node1 or
 Node2 or
 ClusterSQL (the cluster SQL Server)

I am getting an error code 259 -

I have tried the sqlservr -m command and that fails. It says cannot access log file.

Any help?

Thanks.

What does the cluster log say and what does the Windows log say exactly? Did you accidentally cut off the error message after error code 259? – deutschZuid Apr 5 at 3:33
You need to examine the Windows Event Log files and the cluster log files for more information for certain. Why was the cluster rebooted? Was it planned? Patches applied or software installed that required the reboot? – MrRob Apr 6 at 15:51
