This usually happens when disk resources are not dependent on the Enterprise Vault Server Instance resource. Making disk resource dependent on EV server instance resource prevents two Enterprise Vault cluster servers from running on the same clustered node in an supported “active/active” configuration.

Please refer “Installation & configuration” guide for more details.

Run following power shell on the active node of MSCS cluster.

PS C:\Users\vsa> Import-Module failoverclusters
PS C:\Users\vsa> Get-ClusterResourceDependencyReport -Group ResourceGroupName|Copy-Item -Destination c:\temp

This will generate a MHT file to show all dependencies list. Note down all disk resource where EV server instance is missing as dependencies, such as below.

'Cluster Disk X' has no required dependencies.

Add EV server instance as a decency as shown below.
