Suspend-ClusterNode
Suspend-ClusterNode
Suspends activity on a failover cluster node, that is, pauses the node.
Syntax
Parameter Set: InputObject
Suspend-ClusterNode [[-Name] <StringCollection> ] [[-TargetNode] <String> ] [-Cluster <String> ] [-Drain] [-ForceEvacuation] [-InputObject <PSObject> ] [-Wait] [ <CommonParameters>]
Detailed Description
The Suspend-ClusterNode cmdlet suspends activity on a failover cluster node, that is, pauses the node. If you use the Drain parameter, clustered roles currently running on the node will be drained before the node is paused.
Pausing (suspending) a node is usually done when applying software updates to the node. If you need to perform extensive diagnosis or maintenance on a cluster node, it might be more workable to stop (not pause) the Cluster service on that node.
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.

Examples
EXAMPLE 1
This example pauses the node named node1 on the local cluster.
PS C:\> Suspend-ClusterNode node1
EXAMPLE 2
This example pauses the node named node2 on the cluster named cluster2.
PS C:\> Suspend-ClusterNode node2 -Cluster cluster2
EXAMPLE 3
This example pauses the node named node1 and moves the workloads from it to the node named node2.
PS C:\> Suspend-ClusterNode -Name node1 -Target node2 -Drain
