Add-ClusterGenericApplicationRole

Configures high availability for an application that was not originally designed to run in a failover cluster.

Syntax

Parameter Set: InputObject
Add-ClusterGenericApplicationRole [[-Name] <String> ] -CommandLine <String> [-CheckpointKey <StringCollection> ] [-Cluster <String> ] [-IgnoreNetwork <StringCollection> ] [-InputObject <PSObject> ] [-Parameters <String> ] [-StaticAddress <StringCollection> ] [-Storage <StringCollection> ] [-Wait <Int32> ] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The Add-ClusterGenericApplicationRole cmdlet configures high availability for an application that was not originally designed to run in a failover cluster.

If an application is run as a Generic Application, the cluster software will start the application, then periodically query the operating system to see whether the application appears to be running. If so, then it is presumed to be online and will not be restarted or failed over.

Note: This cmdlet cannot be run remotely without Credential Security Service Provider (CredSSP) authentication on the server computer.

Parameters

-CheckpointKey<StringCollection>

Specifies a comma-separated list of registry checkpoint keys to add for this highly available generic application. All registry paths are relative to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

Examples

Example 1

This example configures NewApplication.exe as a generic clustered application. A default name will be used for client access and this application requires no storage.

PS C:\> Add-ClusterGenericApplicationRole -CommandLine NewApplication.exe

Example 2

This example configures NewApplication.exe as a generic clustered application using Cluster Disk 4, and assigns the name NewApplication.

PS C:\> Add-ClusterGenericApplicationRole -CommandLine NewApplication.exe -Storage "Cluster Disk 4" -Name NewApplication

Example 3

This example configures NewApplication.exe as a generic clustered application and assigns the name NewApplication. The cmdlet completes without waiting for all resources to come online.

PS C:\> Add-ClusterGenericApplicationRole -CommandLine NewApplication.exe -Wait 0
