Set-ClusterExcludedAdapter

Sets a network adapter to the list of excluded adapters.

Syntax

Set-ClusterExcludedAdapter
   -ExclusionType <AdapterExclusionType>
   -ExclusionValue <String[]>
   [-CimSession <CimSession[]>]
   [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>]
   [-AsJob]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Set-ClusterExcludedAdapter cmdlet configures a network adapter in a list of network adapters that should be excluded from use by the Failover Cluster. By default, the cluster will use all available network adapters, but in some cases you may want to reserve certain adapters as backup or management, such as Dell iDRAC or HPE iLO.

Examples

Example 1

Set-ClusterExcludedAdapter -ExclusionType "Description" -ExclusionValue "Node-1-FL1","Node-1-FL2"

This example sets the list of excluded network adapters for the cluster. After running this command, the cluster will no longer use Node-1-FL1 or Node-1-FL2 for cluster communications, ensuring that they are available for management or backup purposes.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes.

For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

-ExclusionType

Specifies the type of exclusion to remove from the cluster. Acceptable values are:

  • IPPrefix: Excludes a network adapter based on its IP address.
  • Description: Excludes a network adapter based on its description.
  • FriendlyName: Excludes a network adapter based on its friendly name.

-ThrottleLimit

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then PowerShell calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
