STATUS_CLUSTER_NODE_NOT_MEMBER

The target server is not a member of this cluster

STATUS_CLUSTER_NODE_NOT_MEMBER means the operation requires an existing cluster member but the supplied target is not one. It is not a request to automatically create membership, and it is not equivalent to a node that is already a member but currently Down.

Use this status to separate provisioning from runtime recovery. Confirm that the correct cluster was selected and whether the server must be added through the documented join path. If the server used to be a member, investigate the membership history before attempting to add it again.

What to verify

  • Enumerate cluster members and compare the exact target name.
  • Use Add-ClusterNode only when the server is intentionally being joined.
  • Validate networks, storage, and compatible software before adding a new member.
