Can't create Windows Server Failover Cluster. Static address was not found on any cluster network

Question

I'm trying to create a Windows Server Failover Cluster on Windows Server 2016 in Azure, using this article https://clusteringformeremortals.com/2016/04/23/deploying-microsoft-sql-server-2014-failover-clusters-in-azure-resource-manager-arm/ However, when I execute New-Cluster -Name sql-sql-cls -Node sql-sql-0,sql-sql-1 -StaticAddress 10.0.192.101 -NoStorage I get New-Cluster : Static address '10.0.192.101' was not found on any cluster network. My VM1 has 10.0.192.5 IP, and VM2 has 10.0.192.6 IP. How can I fix this?

Answer 1

Add a load balancer to the same subnet as the network cards that clister is on and use the ip address that gets assigned to the load balancer.
