Solution Steps

  1. 1 Open PowerShell as Administrator.
  2. 2 Run 'Get-ClusterNetwork' to list all cluster networks and their status. This will show you which networks are considered invalid.
  3. 3 Check the network configuration on each node using 'Get-NetIPAddress' and 'Get-NetAdapter'. Ensure all nodes are on the same subnet and have valid IP addresses.
  4. 4 If a node has an incorrect IP address, change it using 'New-NetIPAddress -InterfaceAlias -IPAddress -PrefixLength '. This ensures the node is on the correct network.
  5. 5 If the network is not connected to all nodes, physically connect the nodes to the network and ensure the adapters are enabled.
  6. 6 After fixing the configuration, run 'Test-Cluster' to validate the cluster and see if the error is resolved.
