Add-NlbClusterNode

Adds a new node to the NLB cluster.

Syntax

Add-NlbClusterNode -InterfaceName <string> [-HostName <string>] [-NewNodeName] <string> [-NewNodeInterface] <string> [-Force] [<CommonParameters>]


Add-NlbClusterNode -InputObject <Cluster[]> [-NewNodeName] <string> [-NewNodeInterface] <string> [-Force] [<CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The Add-NlbClusterNode cmdlet adds a new node to the NLB cluster. Once the new node settings are circulated through all of the NLB cluster node, the new cluster node will be in a running state in the cluster.

This operation changes the configuration on all cluster nodes. As a result, the NLB cluster will have to restart the convergence process on all nodes to guarantee that configuration changes have been applied on all nodes and that a consistent state is reached. Any additional operations on the NLB cluster should not be initiated until all cluster nodes have completed the convergence process and are back to the converged state. To check the state of all cluster nodes, use the Get-NlbClusterNode cmdlet. If a configuration change results in the cluster nodes remaining in perpetual convergence, refer to the event log to resolve the configuration inconsistency between the cluster nodes.

Parameters

-Force <SwitchParameter>

Performs the operation without prompting for confirmation. By default, this operation will seek confirmation from the user before proceeding.
