Troubleshooting: Error Adding Hyper-V Cluster - Verify and Retry

Error Adding Hyper-V Cluster - "This host is not a cluster. Please verify and add again.

KB ID: 117013
Cause:
The error message, "This host is not a cluster. Please verify and add again," is encountered when attempting to add a Hyper-V Cluster. This error can occur for the following reasons:
1. When a user tries to add one of the cluster node's IP addresses or hostnames instead of the cluster itself.
2. When a user attempts to add a Standalone Hyper-V host that belongs to a different domain.
Solution:
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
1. Provide the appropriate Hyper-V cluster IP address or hostname when adding it to the BDRShield server or BDRShield client. Ensure that you are adding the entire cluster rather than individual cluster node information.
By following this solution, you can successfully add the Hyper-V Cluster to the BDRShield server or BDRShield client without encountering the mentioned error message.
