Sharepoint Workflow Manager installation failure: "None of the declared nodes is for the current machine."

Question

When installing and configuring Workflow Manager 1.0 for Sharepoint 2013 Foundation, I got this error when kicking off the execution via the GUI (which really just runs a bunch of PowerShell scripts):

Windows Fabric configuration started. Running Windows Fabric deployment. Program C:\Program Files\Windows Fabric\bin\Fabric\Fabric.Code.1.0\FabricDeployer.exe exited with error: Windows Fabric deployment failed. DeploymentValidator: warning: The Fabric Data Collection Agent is disabled for this deployment. None of the declared nodes is for the current machine.

Many sites recommend removing all references to localhost/127.0.0.1 from your HOSTS file, but my HOSTS file is empty. How do I resolve this?

Answer 1

My problem was that the cluster manifest file generated by Windows Fabric was cloned from another VM, and the nodes in it were not correct.

1. Delete all of the ClusterManifest.*.xml files in C:\Program Files\Windows Fabric\bin,
2. Restart the Windows Fabric Host Service.
3. Verify your ClusterManifest.*.xml files have a Node entry under Infrastructure.WindowsServer.NodeList with an IP Address or fully-qualified-domain-name for your server.
4. Re-run the configuration wizard.
