ERROR_CLUSTER_INVALID_REQUEST

This is a state or API-context error. The target object may exist, but the requested operation is not allowed while it is online, moving, joining, or otherwise in a different lifecycle state.

What to check

  • Capture the exact operation, target object, and object state before retrying.
  • Inspect the node, group, resource, and cluster state to identify an in-progress operation that makes the request invalid.
  • Avoid retry loops: wait for the state transition to complete and address the earlier error if the transition failed.
