Windows 2000 Command Reference Main PageThe basic cluster syntax is:
cluster [[/cluster:]cluster name] /option
The cluster name is optional. If you do not specify a cluster, Cluster.exe attempts to connect to the cluster running on the node that is running Cluster.exe.
If no option is specified, the default option is /help.
If the name of your cluster is also a cluster command or its abbreviation, such as cluster or c, use /cluster: to explicitly specify the cluster name. For a list of all the cluster commands, see Related Topics.
The following table describes the available cluster options:
| Option | Use to... |
|---|---|
| /rename:cluster name | Rename a cluster. |
| /version | Display the Cluster service version number. |
| /quorum[resource][:resource name] [/path:path] [/maxlogsize:maximum size in kilobytes] | Change the name or location of the quorum resource or the size of the quorum log. |
| /reg[admin]ext:admin extension dll [,admin extension dll...] | Register a Cluster Administrator extension DLL with the cluster. |
| /unreg[admin]ext:admin extension dll [,admin extension dll...] | Unregister a Cluster Administrator extension DLL from the cluster. |
| /list:[domain name] | Display a list of clusters in the computer's domain or a specified domain. Do not use the cluster name with this option. |
| /properties [property list] | View or set the cluster common properties. For more information on property lists, see Property lists |
| /privproperties [property list] | View or set the cluster private properties. For more information on property lists, see Property lists |
| /? or /help | Display cluster syntax. |
For example, to rename a cluster called OpsClust to OpsClust1, type the following at the Windows 2000 command prompt:
cluster opsclust /rename:opsclust1
