The Get-ClusterResource cmdlet is a powerful tool in Windows PowerShell for managing and retrieving information about cluster resources in a Windows Server Failover Cluster (WSFC) environment. This cmdlet is essential for system administrators who need to monitor and manage the various resources within a cluster, such as virtual machines, storage, and applications. Understanding how to use Get-ClusterResource can help ensure high availability and reliability of critical services.

Examples:

1. Basic Usage of Get-ClusterResource:

   To retrieve a list of all cluster resources in the current cluster, you can use the following command:

   Get-ClusterResource

   This command will display all resources, their current state, and their associated groups.

2. Filtering Resources by State:

   If you want to list only the resources that are currently online, you can filter the results using the Where-Object cmdlet:

   Get-ClusterResource | Where-Object { $_.State -eq "Online" }

   This command will show only the resources that are currently in the "Online" state.

3. Getting Detailed Information About a Specific Resource:

   To get detailed information about a specific resource, you can specify the resource name:

   Get-ClusterResource -Name "Cluster Disk 1"

   This command will provide detailed information about the resource named "Cluster Disk 1".

4. Listing Resources in a Specific Cluster Group:

   To list all resources within a specific cluster group, use the -Group parameter:

   Get-ClusterResource -Group "Cluster Group"

   This command will display all resources that belong to the "Cluster Group".

5. Exporting Cluster Resource Information to a CSV File:

   For reporting or auditing purposes, you might want to export the cluster resource information to a CSV file:

   Get-ClusterResource | Export-Csv -Path "C:\ClusterResources.csv" -NoTypeInformation

   This command will export the list of cluster resources to a CSV file located at "C:\ClusterResources.csv".
