How do I fix ADF Pipeline Error 2361?

Open the Azure portal and locate the HDInsight resource with the cluster name from the error. Inspect the provisioning status and activity log on that HDI resource for the underlying failure. Validate the on-demand HDInsight linked service in ADF: storage credentials, service principal, region, and VM SKU quota. Remove any stale HDI cluster with the same name and rerun the pipeline. If the HDI resource shows no clear cause, open a support ticket with the HDInsight team
