Proposed How To Remove Old "Cluster Network?"

    I've got an old Cluster Network that was on the two original nodes (now there are 3 nodes) and the network is no longer used (we are using the nics for hyper-v traffic now.)  However, the Cluster Network appears in the cluster manager in a failed state and it spits out errors anytime a node is restarted.

    Is there a simple way to remove the cluster network from the Cluster Manager?

    Thanks in advance.

    from the failover console.. right click on the NIC and choose do not allow the cluster to use this network

    Thanks, I have already done that.  Even though the boxed is checked for do not allow - the 3rd node is giving an error about the failed state of the network adapters on the original 2 nodes.

    Thanks again for he advice.  Any other thoughts?
