I am trying to add one more node in peer-to-peer cluster. In current state, I have 3 servers A, B and C. I need to add a node D with node A(only). For this, I used following steps:
- Took full backup from Node A
- Copied it to Node D
- Restored the backup
- Added publications in both nodes.
- Added subscription for Node D in publisher Node A with sync_type 'initialize with backup'
As soon as the commands were run, the Log Reader in Node A started throwing the below errors:
- The process could not execute 'sp_MSadd_replcmds' on 'Node A'. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 1007) Get help: http://help/1007
- The transactions required for synchronizing the nosync subscription created from the specified backup are unavailable at the Distributor. Retry the operation again with a more up-to-date log, differential, or full database backup. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 1007) Get help: http://help/1007
- IDistPut Interface has been shut down. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL2000) Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL2000
- The last step did not log any message! (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL22037) Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL22037
As this was affecting the p2p replication between Nodes A, B and C, I removed the subscription for Node D. This didn't resolve the error. On further investigation I found that the Distribution Cleanup job was still running. Probably that caused the issue.
Now, I am just hoping to make the p2p replication between already existing nodes A, B and C working again, the way it was before. But, all my attempts have resulted in no change in Log Reader Agent. It is stuck at the same error. - The process could not execute 'sp_MSadd_replcmds' on 'Node A'.

Please advise on any steps to resolve this. Thanks
