powershellfailovercluster

FailoverClusters module is not getting listed while running the cmdlet Get-Module -ListAvailable


I tried below command

    Get-Module -ListAvailable

But it did not showed me "FailoverClusters" in the list

From where I can download this module? Do I have to install any SDK? Note: I do not want to install Azure SDK. Is there any other way?

Update I am using my local windows 10 to remote connect to the Azure Virtual Machine (Windows Server 2012 R2). I do want to manage all configurations using powershell from my local windows 10 machine.


Solution

  • As jisaak already explained, the FailoverClusters module is installed when you install the Failover Clustering feature on a Windows Server.

    If, however, you want to manage a cluster from a computer without the Failover Clustering feature installed, this is what you do:

    1. Download the appropriate version of Remote Server Administration Tools
    2. Run the installer
    3. Navigate to the Programs and Features control panel pane (run appwiz.cpl)
    4. Choose "Turn Windows Features on or off"
    5. Find the "Failover Cluster Management" feature under Remote Server Administration Tools
    6. Enable it

    Voila
