Set-ClusterQuorum
Set-ClusterQuorum
Configures quorum options for a failover cluster.
Syntax
Parameter Set: InputObject
Set-ClusterQuorum [-Cluster <String> ] [-DiskOnly <String> ] [-InputObject <PSObject> ] [-NodeAndDiskMajority <String> ] [-NodeAndFileShareMajority <String> ] [-NodeMajority] [ <CommonParameters>]
Detailed Description
The Set-ClusterQuorum cmdlet configures quorum options for a failover cluster. 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<String>
Specifies the name of the cluster on which to run this cmdlet. If the input for this parameter is . or it is omitted, then the cmdlet runs on the local cluster.

-DiskOnly<String>
Causes the cluster quorum to be set to disk only type. This is not recommended as it creates a single point of failure for the cluster.

Inputs
The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.
- Microsoft.FailoverClusters.PowerShell.Cluster
Outputs
The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.

Examples
Example 1
This example changes the quorum configuration to Node Majority on the local cluster.
PS C:\> Set-ClusterQuorum -NodeMajority
Example 2
This example changes the quorum configuration to Node and Disk Majority on the local cluster, using the disk resource named Cluster Disk 7 for the disk witness.
PS C:\> Set-ClusterQuorum -NodeAndDiskMajority "Cluster Disk 7"
Example 3
This example changes the quorum configuration to Node and File Share Majority on the local cluster, using the disk resource at \\fileserver\fsw for the file share witness.
PS C:\> Set-ClusterQuorum -NodeAndFileShareMajority \\fileserver\fsw
