Which raises the question, how did you stop the VM initially?

If you stopped it by setting target-role to Stopped, likely the cluster
still thinks it's stopped, and you need to set it to Started again. If
instead you set maintenance mode or unmanaged the resource, then
stopped the VM manually, then most likely it's still in that mode and
needs to be taken out of it.
