ERROR_CLUSTER_PARAMETER_MISMATCH - 5897 (0x1709)
Two or more parameter values specified for a resource's properties are in conflict.
Updated: Feb 21, 2026
Technical Meaning
The ERROR_CLUSTER_PARAMETER_MISMATCH error code indicates that a parameter value conflict has been detected during the configuration or management of cluster resources. This typically occurs when two or more parameters specified for a resource's properties are incompatible with each other, leading to an operational failure.
Error Details
This error is specific to scenarios where multiple parameters are being set on a cluster resource, and these settings are found to be contradictory. The exact nature of the conflict will depend on the context in which the operation was performed. For example, it could arise from attempting to assign conflicting priority levels or operational modes to a resource.
Usage Context
This error is commonly encountered during operations such as adding or modifying cluster resources, where multiple parameters are specified for configuration. It can also occur when performing administrative tasks that involve setting properties on cluster objects.
Developer Interpretation
Developers should interpret this error as an indication that the provided parameter values are not compatible with each other in the context of the operation being performed. The specific nature of the conflict will need to be determined by reviewing the parameters and their intended usage within the cluster environment.
