STATUS_CLUSTER_NODE_PAUSED

The node is paused rather than active

STATUS_CLUSTER_NODE_PAUSED means the target is a cluster member in a paused state. Pausing is commonly used for planned maintenance; with drain, clustered roles are moved away before the node is paused. It is therefore not interchangeable with a node crash or membership removal.

Determine whether the pause was intentional and whether workloads were drained. Resuming a node merely because a request failed can undo a maintenance boundary or trigger unwanted failback, so first verify the maintenance plan and current role placement.

What to verify

Inspect the node state and the owner of each affected clustered role.
Use Suspend-ClusterNode -Drain only as a planned maintenance action.
Use Resume-ClusterNode after confirming that returning workloads is intended.
