HP XP Cluster Extension Software Administrator Guide

TIP:
You can use the GUI option for Server Core or Hyper-V Server by using the MMC to manage
a cluster remotely. For more information about using the MMC, see your Microsoft
documentation.
HP XP Cluster Extension requirements for Failover Cluster Management resource properties are
described in “Setting resource properties and values in the GUI” (page 23). If there is no required
value for a property, the valid and/or default values are specified. Set these properties in the
resource properties window or the CLI. If you use the CLI, use the following command:
cluster.exe resource ResourceName /prop PropertyName="PropertyValue".
Powershell Cmdlets can also be used instead of cluster.exe. Use the following command:
Get-ClusterResource "Resource_name" | Set-ClusterParameter -Name
"property_name" -Value "value_to_set"
For more information about setting resource properties, see your Microsoft documentation.
