Managing Cluster Extension EVA resources
You can manage resources by bringing them online and offline, or by deleting them.
Bringing a resource online
Resources are usually brought online automatically when the service or application is brought
online. You might need to move the service or application to the node where you want to bring
the resource online.
When bringing resources online:
• For Windows Server 2008/2008 R2/2012, use the Failover Cluster GUI, or Cluster CLI or
MMC, or Microsoft PowerShell Cmdlets.
• For Server Core or Hyper-V Server, use the CLI, or the MMC, or Microsoft PowerShell Cmdlets.
For more information on using this command, see your Microsoft documentation.
