FSRM_E_CLUSTER_NOT_RUNNING

FSRM_E_CLUSTER_NOT_RUNNING (0x8004532E) FSRM could not access global configuration because the Failover Cluster service is not running. This applies to FSRM configuration that depends on a cluster-aware storage context.

What to check

Verify the Cluster Service state and resolve any existing cluster-startup failures first.
Confirm that the node is a member of the expected cluster and that the required cluster resources are online.
Retry the FSRM operation only after the cluster is healthy; do not recreate configuration locally as a substitute for the shared context.
