Get the cluster quorum type

Microsoft Clusters can be managed using Powershell cmdlets. To get a specific information on the cluster like the quorum type, this cmdlet can help:

Get-Cluster -Name ClusterName | Get-ClusterQuorum

Reference
Get-ClusterQuorum

Syntax

Get-ClusterQuorum [-InputObject ] [-Cluster ] []

InputObject
Cluster

Detailed Description

The quorum configuration in a failover cluster determines the number of failures that the cluster can sustain. If an additional failure occurs, the cluster must stop running. The relevant failures in this context are failures of nodes or, in some cases, of a disk witness (which contains a copy of the cluster configuration) or file share witness.

Parameters

Cluster

Specifies the name of the cluster to run this cmdlet on. If you type “-Cluster .” or omit the parameter, the cmdlet runs on the local cluster.

Default Value:
