ERROR_CLUSTER_NODE_NOT_FOUND

The command or API requested a node that is absent from the cluster database. This does not by itself tell whether the server is offline; first distinguish an unknown node from a known node that is merely Down.

What to check

List cluster nodes and verify the exact computer name, including the intended cluster context.
Check whether the node was recently evicted, renamed, or removed after a failed deployment.
Use the cluster log to determine whether a membership change removed the node unexpectedly.
