Why am I getting this error when trying to setup a SH cluster: Search Head Clustering is not enabled on this node, Raft REST endpoints are not available!

[scc00]

Trying to setup a search head cluster. Followed the steps to configure the deployer, initialize the members, setting the captain. Any check on the shcluster status comes back with the following error on all members and even the deployer.

"Search Head Clustering is not enabled on this node. Raft REST endpoints are not available!"

The Search Head is already attached to an Indexer cluster. Can anyone explain why the Search Head Cluster will not enable period?

I've actually already tried this but i appreciate the help. My issue is across the deployer, Search head members. I can't even get a status without the error showing up.Even setup a brand new server to host the Deployer with a fresh installation.
