   [-InputObject <PSObject>]
   [-Cluster <String>]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Add-ClusterGroup cmdlet adds an empty resource group to the failover cluster configuration, in preparation for adding clustered resources to the group. A resource group, or a clustered role, is the unit of failover. During failover, all resources in the resource group move together.

Examples

Example 1: Add a resource group

PS C:\> Add-ClusterGroup -Name "Group1"
Name                       OwnerNode                                      State 
----                       ---------                                      ----- 
Group1                     node1                                         Online

This example adds an empty resource group called Group1 to the failover cluster.
