ERROR_CLUSTER_RESOURCE_TYPE_NOT_FOUND

The resource type does not exist in the local cluster configuration. It may be misspelled, omitted from the node installation, or unavailable because the supporting component is not installed consistently.

Compare installed cluster features and registered resource types across all possible owner nodes. A role can fail after failover when its provider exists on one node but was never installed or registered on another.

What to check

List registered resource types and compare the exact type name requested by the operation.
Verify that the supporting cluster component is installed on all nodes that must host the resource.
Do not copy resource DLL files manually; deploy the supported component or role that provides the resource type.
