Description
The Test-CauSetup cmdlet tests whether a failover cluster is properly set up to apply software
updates using Cluster-Aware Updating (CAU). The cmdlet performs a Best Practices Analyzer (BPA) scan
of the failover cluster and network environment by invoking the ClusterAwareUpdating BPA model that
is installed with CAU. To view the results of a BPA scan that is performed by Test-CauSetup,
including possible problems and resolution steps, run the Get-BpaResult cmdlet.
You must run the Test-CauSetup cmdlet with local administrative credentials.
Examples
Example 1: Test whether the specified failover cluster is set up for CAU
Test-CauSetup -ClusterName "CONTOSO-FC1"
This example tests whether the failover cluster named CONTOSO-FC1 is properly set up for CAU.
Parameters
-ClusterName
Specifies the name of the cluster on which to test for proper setup. This parameter is only required when this cmdlet isn't run on a failover cluster node, or this cmdlet is used to reference a failover cluster different from where the cmdlet is run.
