ERROR_CLUSTER_JOIN_NOT_IN_PROGRESS

This status usually follows automation or recovery code that assumed a join was still running. It is important because repeating a cleanup action out of sequence can mask the real reason the join finished or failed.

Treat this as a sequencing mismatch in the caller or recovery path. Check the preceding join result and current membership before issuing cleanup, because the node may already be joined, failed, or removed.

What to check

  • Inspect node state and the cluster log to determine whether the join completed, failed, or was aborted.
  • Confirm that no parallel deployment job is adding or removing the same node.
  • Start a new join only after the prior membership state is understood and prerequisites validate.
