STATUS_CLUSTER_NODE_NOT_PAUSED
The operation requires a paused node
STATUS_CLUSTER_NODE_NOT_PAUSED is a state-precondition result: the target is not paused even though the requested operation expects it to be. The status does not mean the node is Down; it can be Up and actively hosting cluster roles.
Use it to catch incorrect maintenance sequencing. Before pausing a node, decide whether workloads should be drained and whether sufficient healthy nodes remain to host them. Before resuming, decide whether controlled failback is desired.
What to verify
- Confirm the actual state with
Get-ClusterNode. - For planned maintenance, choose pause/drain behavior deliberately rather than treating pause as a generic fix.
- Check role placement and quorum before changing a node state.
