Overview of PowerShell Cmdlets for AlwaysOn Availability Groups (SQL Server)
Microsoft PowerShell is a task-based command-line shell and scripting language designed especially for system administration. AlwaysOn Availability Groups provides a set of PowerShell cmdlets in SQL Server 2012 that enable you to deploy, manage, and monitor availability groups, availability replicas, and availability databases.
[!UWAGA]
A PowerShell cmdlet can complete by successfully initiating an action. This does not indicate that the intended work, such as the fail over of an availability group, has completed. When scripting a sequence of actions, you might have to check the status of actions, and wait for them to complete.
This topic introduces the cmdlets for the following sets of tasks:
Configuring a server instance for AlwaysOn Availability Groups
Backing up and restoring databases and transaction logs
Creating and managing an availability group
Creating and managing an availability group listener
Creating and managing an availability replica
Adding and managing an availability database
Monitoring availability group health

For a list of topics in SQL Server 2012 Books Online that describe how to use cmdlets to perform AlwaysOn Availability Groups tasks, see the "Related Tasks" section of Overview of AlwaysOn Availability Groups (SQL Server).
