Set-ClusterQuorum
Set-ClusterQuorum
Configure quorum options for a failover cluster.
Syntax
Set-ClusterQuorum [-InputObject <psobject>] [-Cluster <string>] [-DiskOnly <string>] [-NodeAndDiskMajority <string>] [-NodeAndFileShareMajority <string>] [-NodeMajority] [<CommonParameters>]
InputObject
Cluster
DiskOnly
NodeAndDiskMajority
NodeAndFileShareMajority
NodeMajority
Detailed Description
The quorum configuration in a failover cluster determines the number of failures that the cluster can sustain. If an additional failure occurs, the cluster must stop running. The relevant failures in this context are failures of nodes or, in some cases, of a disk witness (which contains a copy of the cluster configuration) or file share witness.
Parameters
Cluster
Specifies the name of the cluster to run this cmdlet on. If you type "-Cluster ." or omit the parameter, the cmdlet runs on the local cluster.
