ERROR_CLUSTER_SHUTTING_DOWN
This is a lifecycle status, not evidence that a resource itself is defective. Do not issue competing create, move, or join operations until the Cluster service has either stopped cleanly or returned to a stable running state.
What to check
- Identify why the Cluster service began to stop: planned maintenance, a service failure, loss of quorum, or node shutdown.
- Collect a fresh cluster log around the transition and compare the timestamps with the System and FailoverClustering event logs.
- Confirm quorum and node membership before starting recovery work, especially if more than one node is affected.
