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
PS C:\> Move-ClusterGroup -Name MyFileServer
Name OwnerNode State
---- --------- -----
MyFileServer node1 Online
This example moves the clustered service called MyFileServer from the current owner node to any other node.
Example 2
PS C:\> Move-ClusterGroup -Name MyFileServer -Node node2
Name OwnerNode State
---- --------- -----
MyFileServer node2 Online
This example moves the resource group called MyFileServer from the current owner node to the node named node2.
Example 3
PS C:\> Get-ClusterNode node3 | Get-ClusterGroup | Move-ClusterGroup
Name OwnerNode State
---- --------- -----
Available Storage node4 Online
Cluster Group node1 Online
MyFileServer node1 Online
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.
Example 4
PS C:\> Move-ClusterGroup -Name MyFileServer -Node node2 -Wait 0
Name OwnerNode State
---- --------- -----
MyFileServer node2 Pending
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.
