Windows Cluster: Moving Quorum Disk to Another Node

In my earlier post I have explained about various quorum settings available in Microsoft windows 2008 cluster environment. While we plan to perform the maintenance in a cluster environment ,as per the design, it is not mandatory to move  the resources and witness disk manually  to another node. While cluster services is stopping on a node, resources owned by that node will automatically be arbitrated to another node in the cluster. 

I personally do not prefer this approach.I prefer to move all the resource manually to another node while we planning to perform maintenance in cluster environment. SQL instances, MSDTC and any other application/services can be moved using the UI, but to move the witness disk we have to rely on the command prompt.

Open a command prompt and type cluster group ,it will list all the group available in the windows cluster as shown in the below picture.
moving cluster group
Fig 1










From the Fig-1 you can see SQL server groups,MSDTC group and other two groups.These two groups(available storage and cluster group) are created by default in windows 2008 cluster. The quorum disk resides in the group 'Cluster Group'. In the Fig-1 the 'cluster group' is owned by the node5. To move it other node we have run below command.

cluster group "Cluster Group" /move 

In you have more nodes in your cluster and to move the 'cluster group' to a specific group use the below command.

cluster group "Cluster Group" /moveto:node5

      Bên trong không gian thông đạo, bên trong tháp Hạo Thiên, một cỗ hơi thở cường hãn tràn ngập ở trước đại điện Hạo Thiên Tháp, hơi thở cường hãn này làm cho đám người Yêu Huyên, Hỏa Lão, Yến Hiểu Kỳ đều có cảm giác rung động.

      Trước Đại điện, Thanh Đồng khoanh chân ngồi xuống, trên thân thể nho nhỏ đáng yêu cũng bao phủ một mảnh màu xanh chói mắt, mà lúc này quỷ dị chính là ở trên đỉnh đầu Thanh Đồng, bản thể Thanh Đồng quanh quẩn ở trên cao bất động, bản thể này tựa hồ là Hư ảnh, nhưng như là thật thể, không ai có thể phân biệt rõ ràng, mà hơi thở cường hãn từ bản thể Thanh Đồng tỏa ra.

      Bản thể Thanh Đồng lúc này có bốn ngàn, thanh mang bản thể giống như dòng điện, bên trong Hạo Thiên Tháp linh khí bàng bạc gấp rút tiến vào bên trong bản thể Thanh Đồng.

      Hơi thở cường hãn làm cho mọi người sớm ngừng tu luyện, lúc này mọi người đều kinh ngạc nhìn chăm chú vào bản thể Thanh Đồng trên bầu trời, Hỏa Lão cùng Yến Hiểu Kỳ, Tôn Thi Thi, Đại Song Tiểu Song đều bị đè nén, giống như là đối mặt với
