ERROR_CLUSTER_RESTYPE_NOT_SUPPORTED

The resource type may be registered elsewhere in the cluster, but the selected node cannot host it. This is commonly caused by version differences, a missing resource DLL or supporting feature, or an unsupported deployment topology.

Check the resource DLL, supporting feature, and OS compatibility on the selected node against a working owner. Correct node capability or owner lists instead of forcing placement on a server that cannot host the type.

What to check

  • Compare registered resource types and supporting features across all possible owner nodes.
  • Check whether the group is attempting to fail over to a node that lacks a required component.
  • Run validation after bringing node configurations back into alignment.
