ClusNode.Pause method

[The Pause method is available for use in the operating systems specified in the Requirements section. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions.]

Suspends the cluster activity of a node.

Syntax

ClusNode.Pause()

Parameters

This method has no parameters.

Return value

This method does not return a value.

Remarks

Use the ClusNode.Resume method to return a paused node to active status.

While a node is paused, groups cannot be moved to the node either through the failover process or administrator action. A paused node returns ClusterNodePaused as the value for its ClusNode.State property.

Groups that are owned by a paused node remain owned by that node. A paused node's groups and resources can be taken offline, but they cannot be brought online. Because the paused state is persistent, a paused node continues to be paused when it is rebooted.
