Pausing (suspending) a node is usually done when applying software updates to the node, where the recommended sequence is to move all services and applications off of the node, pause the node, then apply software updates to the node. If you need to perform extensive diagnosis or maintenance on a cluster node, it might be more workable to stop (not pause) the Cluster service on that node.
Specifies the name of the cluster to run this cmdlet on. If you type "-Cluster ." or omit the parameter, the cmdlet runs on the local cluster.
