[298] SQLServer Error: 6, Specified SQL server not found. [SQLSTATE 08001]


[298] SQLServer Error: 2, ConnectionOpen (CreateFile()). [SQLSTATE 01000]


[000] Unable to connect to server; SQLServerAgent cannot start

It starts and works fine on one cluster but not the other.

Please help.
Thanks."

Are you truly talking about another failover cluster, or just a node within that cluster?

Our cluster is configured with SQLAgent set to manual on each node. The instigation of SQL Agent during a failover is supposed to be managed within the Cluster configuration. I would check there first to see if there are any abnormalities.
