You experience a node failure and the cluster.log records:

000006c8.00000740::2002/04/16-00:45:14.278 [LM] LogpReset:: MoveFileExW failed. Error = 0x00000005 000006c8.00000740::2002/04/16-00:45:14.278 [LM] LogClose : Entry LogFile=0x000c0dd8 000006c8.00000740::2002/04/16-00:45:14.278 [LM] LogClose : Exit returning success 000006c8.00000740::2002/04/16-00:45:14.278 [LM] LogpReset exit, returning 0x00000005 000006c8.00000740::2002/04/16-00:45:14.278 [LM] LogReset exit, returning 0x00000005 000006c8.00000740::2002/04/16-00:45:14.278 [DM]DmpCheckpointTimerCb - Failed to reset log, error=5 000006c8.00000740::2002/04/16-00:45:14.278 Microsoft Clusterservice: Unexpected fatal error in Line 2166 of sourcemodule D:tprivateclusterservicedmdmlog.c. errorcode: 5. 0000078c.00000788::2002/04/16-00:45:14.715 [RM] Going away, Status = 1, Shutdown = 0.

This error can occur because the Cluster service is trying to rename a temporary file to Quolog.log, and can't, because the file is being accessed.

If you have file filtering software, like a virus scanner, make sure it does NOT scan the MSCS folder on the quorum disk.
