To work around this issue, use PowerShell either to create the cluster with the IP address or to create or change the new network resource, as follows.
PS > get-clusterresource
The result resembles the following:
Name State OwnerGroup ResourceType
---- ----- ---------- ------------
Cluster IP Address Online Cluster Group IPAddress
Cluster Name Online Cluster Group Network Name
PS > get-clusterresource -Name "Cluster ip address" | get-clusterparameter -Name Network,Address,SubnetMask
The result resembles the following:
Object Name Value Type
------ ---- - ---- ----
Cluster ip address Network Cluster Network 3 String
Cluster ip address Address XX5.XX5.X0X.XXX String
Cluster ip address SubnetMask 255.0.0.0 String
PS > get-clusterresource
The result resembles the following:
Name State OwnerGroup ResourceType
---- ----- ---------- ------------
Cluster IP Address Online Cluster Group IP Address
Cluster Name Online Cluster Group Network Name
PS > get-clusterresource -Name "Cluster ip address" | get-clusterparameter -Name Network,Address,SubnetMask
The result resembles the following:
Object Name Value Type
------ ---- ----- ----
Cluster ip address Network Cluster Network 3 String
Cluster ip address Address XX5.XX5.X0X.XXX String
Cluster ip address SubnetMask 255.0.0.0 String
If you must change the network interface, you can do so with this command:
PS > get-clusterresource -Name "Cluster ip address" | set-clusterparameter -name network "Cluster Network 2"
Warning
The properties were stored, but not all changes will take effect until Cluster IP address is taken offline and then online again.
The following command will zero out the IP address:
PS > get-clusterresource -Name "Cluster ip address" | get-clusterparameter -name address
The result resembles the following:
Object Name Value Type
------ ---- ----- ----
Cluster ip address Address 0.0.0.0 String
The following command configures the clustered resource that's called "IP Address" to use a new static IP. Because the new address and subnet mask are required, both parameters must be passed together to Set-ClusterParameter.
PS > $resip = get-clusterresource -name "cluster ip address"
PS > $newip = New-Object
Microsoft.FailoverClusters.PowerShell.ClusterParameter $resip,address,100.6.XXX.XXX
PS > $newsubnm = New-Object Microsoft.FailoverClusters.PowerShell.ClusterParameter $resip,subnetmask,255.0.0.0
PS > $addnewaddr = $newip,$newsubnm
PS > $addnewaddr | set-clusterparameter
The resource will update automatically, and you can verify this by running the following command:
PS > get-clusterresource -Name "Cluster ip address" | get-clusterparameter -Name Network,address,Subnetmask
Object Name Value
------ ---- -----
Cluster ip address Network Cluster Network 2
Cluster ip address Address 100.6.XXX.XXX
Cluster ip address SubnetMask 255.0.0.0
Note The Type column is not displayed above.
You also can use the following command-line interface to create the cluster:
cluster /cluster:ClusterName /create /nodes:"NodeName NodeName" /ipaddress:ClusterIPAddress/SubnetMask
