Solution Steps

  1. 1 Open Network Connections: Press Windows key + R, type 'ncpa.cpl', and press Enter. This opens the list of network adapters on your system.
  2. 2 Check that at least one network adapter is enabled and connected. If an adapter is disabled, right-click it and select 'Enable'. If it shows 'Network cable unplugged', check the physical connection or virtual switch.
  3. 3 Right-click the adapter you want to use for cluster communication and select 'Properties'. Select 'Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)' and click 'Properties'. Ensure that 'Use the following IP address' is selected and that a static IP address is assigned. Cluster networks should not use DHCP.
  4. 4 Repeat the static IP configuration on all cluster nodes. Ensure that the IP addresses are on the same subnet and that they are unique.
  5. 5 After configuring the adapters, open Failover Cluster Manager (cluadmin.msc). Right-click on 'Networks' and select 'Add Network'. Follow the wizard to add the network. If the network is not listed, you may need to refresh the view or restart the Cluster service.
