This message is very important

A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The specified network name is no longer available.) ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The specified network name is no longer available.) ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The specified network name is no longer available

This error suggests that the Sql Server instance hosting the cluster configuration is no longer available. As the configuration location can be a single point of failure, it have to be always available.

Check the configured connection string in DistributedCacheService.exe.config under Program Files\ Microsoft AppFabric 1.1 for Windows Server.
