New-Cluster : Cannot convert 'IP' to the type 'System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection' required by parameter 'StaticAddress'

Question

I am creating the cluster with the PowerShell scripting

New-Cluster -Name $Clustername -Node $Hostname -StaticAddress $ClusterIP

But when it comes to execute the command it gives the below error

New-Cluster: Cannot convert '192.168.155.196' to the type 'System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection' required by parameter 'StaticAddress'. Unable to cast object of type 'System.Net.IPAddress' to type 'System.String'

Answer 1

The error shows $ClusterIP is a [System.Net.IPAddress] object. Use its ToString() method instead:

New-Cluster -Name $Clustername -Node $Hostname -StaticAddress $ClusterIP.ToString()
