Get-Cluster

Get information about one or more failover clusters in a given domain.

Syntax

Get-Cluster [-Domain <string>] [<CommonParameters>]
  • Domain

    Get-Cluster [[-Name] ] []

  • Name

Detailed Description

This cmdlet can obtain a variety of configuration and state information about a failover cluster, including the following items:
- State information about whether a backup is in progress.
- State information about whether the cluster is in a forced quorum state.
- Cross-network settings that are especially relevant for multi-site clusters.

To set a common property for the cluster, use this cmdlet to get the cluster object and then set the appropriate property on that cluster object directly.
