PowerShell Cmdlet Help for Set-ClusterNAME Set-Cluster SYNOPSIS Changes the configuration of a cluster. SYNTAX Set-Cluster [-HARestartPriority y d [ DESCRIPTION Changes the configuration of a cluster. HAEnabled is automatically set to $true if some of the HA settings, HAAdmissionControlEnabled, HAFailoverLevel, HAR estartPriority, HAIsolationResponse, are specified. DrsEnabled is automatically set to $true if some of the DRS settings, DrsAutomationLevel, DrsMode, are specified. PARAMETERS -HARestartPriority Specify the cluster HA restart priority. The valid values are Disabled, Low, Medium, and High. VMware HA is a f eature that detects failed virtual machines and automatically restarts them on alternative ESX hosts. Passing v alues to this parameter through a pipeline is deprecated and will be disabled in a future release. Required? false Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false -HAIsolationResponse Specify whether the virtual machine should be powered off if a host determines that it is isolated from the res t of the compute resource. The valid values are PowerOff and DoNothing. Passing values to this parameter throu gh a pipeline is deprecated and will be disabled in a future release. Required? false Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false -VMSwapfilePolicy Specify the swapfile placement policy. The following values are valid: InHostDataStore - Store the swapfile in the datastore specified by the VMSwapfileDatastoreID property of the vi rtual machine host. If the VMSwapfileDatastoreID property is not set or indicates a datastore with insufficient free space, the swapfile is stored in the same directory as the virtual machine. This setting might degrade th e VMotion performance. WithVM - Store the swapfile in the same directory as the virtual machine. Required? false Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false -Cluster Specify the name of the cluster you want to configure. Required? true Position? 2 Default value Accept pipeline input? true (ByValue) Accept wildcard characters? true -Name Specify a new name for the cluster. Required? false Position? 3 Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false -HAEnabled [ Indicate that VMware High Availability is enabled. Required? false Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false -HAAdmissionControlEnabled [ Indicate that the virtual machines in the cluster will not start if they violate availability constraints. Required? false Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false -HAFailoverLevel Specify a failover level. This is the number of physical host failures that can be tolerated without impacting the ability to meet minimum thresholds for all running virtual machines. The valid values range from one to fou r. Required? false Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false -DrsEnabled [ Indicate that VMware DRS (Distributed Resource Scheduler) is enabled. Required? false Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false -DrsMode This parameter is deprecated and scheduled for removal. Use the DrsAutomationLevel parameter instead. Specify a DRS (Distributed Resource Scheduler) mode. MuThe valid values are FullyAutomated, Manual, and PartiallyAutomat ed. Required? false Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false -DrsAutomationLevel Specify a DRS (Distributed Resource Scheduler) automation level. The valid values are FullyAutomated, Manual, a nd PartiallyAutomated. Required? false Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false -Profile Specify a host profile you want to associate with the cluster. If the value of this parameter is $null, the cur rent profile association is removed. Required? false Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? true -Server Specify the vSphere servers on which you want to run the cmdlet. If no value is given to this parameter, the co mmand runs on the default servers. For more information about default servers, see the description of Connect-V IServer. Required? false Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? true -RunAsync Indicate that the command returns immediately without waiting for the task to complete. In this mode, the outpu t of the cmdlet is a Task object. For more information about the -RunAsync parameter run " help About_RunAsync" in the vSphere PowerCLI console. Required? false Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false -WhatIf Indicate that the cmdlet is run only to display the changes that would be made and actually no objects are modi fied. Required? false Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false -Confirm If the value is $true, indicates that the cmdlet asks for confirmation before running. If the value is $false, the cmdlet runs without asking for user confirmation. Required? false Position? named Default value $true Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug, ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable, OutBuffer and OutVariable. For more information, type, "get-help about_commonparameters". INPUTS OUTPUTS Cluster NOTES -------------- Example 1 -------------- C:\PS>$cluster1 = New-Cluster -Name Cluster1 -Location Datacenter $cluster2 = Set-Cluster -Cluster $cluster1 -Name Cluster2 Creates a new cluster named Cluster1 on the Datacenter. Then renames the cluster to Cluster2.
