Examples


EXAMPLE 1

PS C:\>Start-Cluster
Name
----
mycluster



This example starts all cluster nodes on the local cluster.




EXAMPLE 2

PS C:\>Start-Cluster –Name node2
Name
----
mycluster



This example starts all cluster nodes on the cluster of which the node named node2 is a part. A node name is required if all cluster nodes are stopped. If the cluster is
already running, then the cluster name, assuming the cluster name resource is online, can be used instead of the node name.
