Move-ClusterGroup [[-Name] <String> ] [[-Node] <String> ] [-Cluster <String> ] [-IgnoreLocked] [-InputObject <PSObject> ] [-Wait <Int32> ] [ <CommonParameters>]
Detailed Description
The Move-ClusterGroup cmdlet moves a clustered role (a resource group) from one node to another in a failover cluster.
Moving a resource group is a way of simulating failover. Running this cmdlet is also an appropriate step to take in preparation for routine maintenance on a node.

Examples
EXAMPLE 1
This example moves the clustered service called MyFileServer from the current owner node to any other node.
PS C:\> Move-ClusterGroup –Name MyFileServer
EXAMPLE 2
This example moves the resource group called MyFileServer from the current owner node to the node named node2.
PS C:\> Move-ClusterGroup –Name MyFileServer -Node node2
EXAMPLE 3
This example moves all resource groups that are currently owned by the node named node3 to other nodes. Use this cmdlet before performing maintenance on the specified node.
PS C:\> Get-ClusterNode node3 | Get-ClusterGroup | Move-ClusterGroup
EXAMPLE 4
This example moves the resource group called MyFileServer from the current owner node to the node named node2. Information about MyFileServer is displayed immediately, while it is in the process of being moved.
PS C:\> Move-ClusterGroup –Name MyFileServer -Node node2 -Wait 0
