I was trying to move a cluster group to other node, I couldn’t move the group at all and what’s up with this error:

A cluster node is not available for this operation.
Error ID: 5005 (0000138d)

After a little research, I found one of the resource properties “possible owners” were not listed all cluster nodes. I guess at one point my colleagues were trying to bind a cluster group only to one node and they don’t want to move this cluster node to other node accidentally.

Solution: Go through each cluster resource properties and check “possible owners” listed correctly.
