Set-NlbCluster

Set-NlbCluster

Edits the configuration of a Network Load Balancing (NLB) cluster.

Syntax

Parameter Set: NonPipeline
Set-NlbCluster [[-HostName] <String> ] [-InterfaceName] <String> [-ClusterPrimaryIP <IPAddress> ] [-Name <String> ] [-OperationMode <Nullable> ] [ <CommonParameters>]

Parameter Set: Pipeline
Set-NlbCluster -InputObject <Cluster> [-ClusterPrimaryIP <IPAddress> ] [-Name <String> ] [-OperationMode <Nullable> ] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The Set-NlbCluster cmdlet edits the configuration of a Network Load Balancing (NLB) cluster. The configuration changes you can make include the cluster operation mode (MULITCAST or UNICAST), the cluster name, and the cluster primary IP address.

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.

Parameters

-ClusterPrimaryIP<IPAddress>

Specifies the IP address to use as the cluster primary IP address. The IP address must be one of the existing virtual IP addresses on the cluster.
