ServiceType was disabled on the node - Why?

Question

Post Deployment, during activation, Service Fabric fails to activate my service with the error "The ServiceType was disabled on the node" Here is a screenshot. What could be wrong here?

Answer 1

If the service fails to start on a node after several tries, SF will simply disable that type on the node and try to start it up somewhere else. You can see that in your screenshot, before it was disabled, there is an error that says it couldn't start: "There was an error during activation."
