The cluadmin command is used to connect to a server cluster. Used without parameters, cluadmin starts Cluster Administrator, the tool used to configure and manage server clusters.
Syntax
cluadmin [/norecon[nect]] [IP Address] [.] [{ClusterName | NodeName}]
Parameters
/norecon[nect]
Starts Cluster Administrator without restoring all previous cluster connections left open when you closed the previous session.
IP Address
Connects to either a node in the cluster or the cluster using the IP address.
[ .]
Connects to the local node.
{ClusterName | NodeName}
Connects to the cluster using a NetBIOS name. You can use either one of the node names or the cluster name.
/?
Displays help at the command prompt.
Remarks
  • Using the /norecon[nect] option

    If you use this parameter, you will be prompted to enter the name of the cluster that you want to connect to.

  • Using the [.] option

    If the cluster name or cluster Internet Protocol (IP) address does not come online, you can use this parameter to make a connection to the cluster.

  • Using the {ClusterName | NodeName} option

    To use this parameter, the name resolution service must be functioning correctly.
