Start-ClusterNode |
Starts the Cluster service on a node in a failover cluster.
Start-ClusterNode [[-Name] <StringCollection>] [-ForceQuorum] [-ClearQuarantine]
[-IgnorePersistentState] [-PreventQuorum] [-Wait <Int32>] [-InputObject <PSObject>]
[-Cluster <String>] [<CommonParameters>]
The Start-ClusterNode cmdlet starts the Cluster service on a node in a failover cluster. If this
is the first node started, then it will wait for other nodes to join. The cluster will begin to run
when a quorum has formed.
This cmdlet with the FixQuorum parameter can be used to force quorum, that is, force the start of a cluster node even if quorum hasn't been achieved. When quorum is forced on a given node, the copy of the cluster configuration that is on that node will be treated as the authoritative copy and will be replicated to all other nodes. Therefore, forcing quorum should be considered a last resort, because some cluster configuration changes could be lost. The ability to force quorum can be especially useful in a multi-site cluster if the primary site, with the majority of nodes, becomes unavailable, and the secondary site, with a minority of nodes, need to be brought into service. Similarly, the ability to force quorum makes it possible to start a cluster that uses the Node and File Share Majority quorum option when none of the available cluster nodes contains a current copy of the cluster configuration.
Note: This cmdlet cannot be run remotely without Credential Security Service Provider (CredSSP) authentication on the server computer.
Start-ClusterNode -Name node3This example starts the Cluster service on the node named node3 on the local cluster.
Start-ClusterNode -Name node1 -Cluster cluster2This example starts the Cluster service on the node named node1 on the cluster named cluster2.
Start-ClusterNode -FixQuorumThis example forces the local node and the local cluster to start, even if quorum hasn't been achieved. If quorum hasn't been achieved, then the copy of the cluster configuration that is on the local node will be treated as the authoritative copy and will be replicated to all other nodes. This cmdlet should be considered a last resort, because some cluster configuration changes could be lost, such as recovery options for cluster service.
Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases: cq
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: FalseSpecifies 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.
Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: FalseIndicates that the cmdlet forces the start of a cluster node regardless if quorum isn't formed.
Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases: fq, FixQuorum
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: FalseStarts the cluster node without bringing resources online on the node.
Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases: ips
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: FalseSpecifies the cluster node to start.
Type: PSObject
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters: FalseSpecifies the name of the cluster node to start.
Type: StringCollection
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: 0
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: FalseStarts the node, but prevents it from achieving quorum and forming the cluster, to prevent a split situation with two competing instances of the cluster running.
Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases: pq
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: FalseSpecifies the time in seconds to wait for the cmdlet. If the Wait parameter isn't specified,
then the cmdlet waits for completion. If -Wait 0 is specified, then the call is initiated and the
cmdlet returns without waiting.
Type: Int32
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: FalseThis cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutVariable, -OutBuffer, -PipelineVariable, -Verbose, -WarningAction, and -WarningVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.
