SQL Server Agent Jobs not running 'SQL Server Agent is not currently running so it cannot be notified of this action. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 22022)'

Hello All,

We have sql 2008 R2 SP1 A/P cluster running on VM.

SQL Server Agent jobs are not running. If I manually try to run the job it gives below error

'SQL Server Agent is not currently running so it cannot be notified of this action. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 22022)'

I checked SQL server Agent service is running, and the service account under it is running has 'sa' access to sql server.

'Agent Xps' has been set to 1.

If I browse to SQLagent.out file. it is completely blank.

Any help on this will be appreciated. Thank You.
