Summary



When you attempt to add a cluster node to an Enterprise, the DPX management console displays an error indicating that the node and group are not consistent. This happens when clusters do not have their own exclusive node groups. To resolve this issue, create an exclusive node group for the cluster nodes that you want to add.

Symptoms



When you attempt to add the cluster node to an existing node group that contains a non-cluster node, the DPX management console displays: "The node and group are not cluster consistent."



Resolution



For cluster nodes, DPX requires that each operating system cluster is defined within its own DPX node group in the Configure > Enterprise window. For more detail, refer to the DPX Documentation

In DPX, you define nodes and node groups. For a Windows cluster, you define physical nodes for the client computers and a single virtual node for the shared resources. All the nodes (physical and virtual) must be members of the same node group. A node group for a cluster must contain all the nodes for that cluster and no other nodes.

To resolve this issue, create a new exclusive node group for the cluster nodes that you want to add.
