Solution Steps
- 1 Open PowerShell as Administrator.
- 2 Run 'Get-ClusterNetwork' to list all cluster networks and their roles. This will show you which networks are marked as internal or external.
- 3 Identify the network that is causing the error. It should be marked as 'Internal' if it's used for cluster communication.
-
4
If the network is marked as 'External', change it to 'Internal' using 'Set-ClusterNetwork -Name
-Role Internal'. This ensures the network is correctly classified. - 5 If the network is not connected to all nodes, ensure all nodes are connected to the same network.
- 6 After making the change, run 'Get-ClusterNetwork' again to verify the role is now 'Internal'.
