Test-ClusterResourceFailure

  • Reference
Module:
FailoverClusters

Simulates a failure of a cluster resource.

Syntax

Test-ClusterResourceFailure
    [[-Name] <String>]
    [-InputObject <PSObject>]
    [-Cluster <String>]
    [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Test-ClusterResourceFailure cmdlet simulates a failure of a cluster resource.

Based on the failover and failback policies, when this cmdlet runs, the Cluster service moves the clustered role, or resource group, and attempts to bring the clustered resource online. This cmdlet can be used to simulate what actions the Cluster service will take when a resource fails.

Examples
