You can use cluster commands to administer server clusters from the Windows 2000 command prompt. You
can also call the program Cluster.exe from command scripts to
automate many cluster administration tasks. Cluster.exe is provided on all
Windows 2000 computers.
You can use Cluster.exe to administer clusters from a node
of the cluster, from nodes of other clusters, or from other computers running
Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3 or later.
The following rules apply when entering commands from the command prompt:
- You must use quotation
marks around all names that contain spaces and special characters.
Examples of special characters are: the minus sign (-), the slash mark
(/), quotation marks ("), the colon (:), the comma (,), and the
equal sign (=). For other examples, see the cluster commands in Related
Topics.
- When setting
properties to True or False, specify 1 (one) for True and 0 (zero) for
False.
- You specify the local
cluster when you enter a PERIOD (.) in the command for cluster name.
- You can specify
multiple options for one command line. Cluster.exe processes options
from left to right. If an option fails, the command will stop executing
at the failed option.
- Use double quotation
marks (") in a string that has two consecutive double quotation
marks (""). The following example shows double quotation marks
in a string:
cluster resource AResource /priv aProp="a
"""
