ERROR_CLUSTER_INVALID_NETWORK

The network object is present but does not meet the requirements of the operation. The underlying issue can be an incorrect subnet, unsupported topology, inactive interface, or a network role that does not match the requested use.

What to check

Review the cluster network and interface state rather than relying only on the adapter name in the operating system.
Confirm that all nodes use consistent IP addressing, subnetting, and routing for cluster traffic.
Run cluster validation after correcting network topology or interface configuration.
