[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Test-SCVMHostCluster cmdlet validates whether one or more hosts that are managed by Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) are suitable as a node of a failover cluster.
Examples
Example 1: Validate nodes to be clustered
PS C:\> $HostGroup = Get-SCVMHostGroup -Name "New York"
PS C:\> $Nodes = Get-SCVMHost | where {$_.Name -like "Cluster*" -and $_.VMHostGroup -eq $HostGroup}
PS C:\> $Result = Test-SCVMHostCluster -VMHost $Nodes
PS C:\> Write-Output $Result.ValidationResult
PS C:\> Write-Output $Result.ResultFileLocationThe first command gets the host group object named New York in All Hosts and stores the object in the $HostGroup variable.
The second command gets all host objects with names beginning with "Cluster" from the New York host group and stores the objects in the $Nodes variable.
The third command validates the host objects stored in $Nodes for failover cluster creation and stores the results in $Result.
The fourth command displays the validation result to the user.
The last command displays the location of the validation report file to the user.
Example 2: Validate an existing cluster
PS C:\> $Cluster = Get-SCVMHostCluster -Name "Cluster01"
PS C:\> $Result = Test-SCVMHostCluster -VMHostCluster $Cluster
PS C:\> Write-Output $Result.ValidationResult
PS C:\> Write-Output $Result.ResultFileLocationThe first command gets the cluster object named Cluster01 and stores the object in the $Cluster variable.
The second command tests the cluster stored in $Cluster and stores the results of the test in $Result.
The third command displays the results for the user.
The last command displays the location of the validation report file for the user.
Parameters
-Credential
Specifies a credential object or, for some cmdlets, a Run As account object that contains the user name and password of an account that has permission to perform this action. Or, in the case of Restart-SCJob, has permission to complete a restarted task.
For more information about the PSCredential object, type Get-Help Get-Credential.
For more information about Run As accounts, type Get-Help New-SCRunAsAccount.
