Cuando se trabaja con SQL en entornos de alta disponibilidad es muy comun trabajar con windows en cluster y tener que lidiar con varias tareas que involucran tanto sea al sql como al cluster.
La forma tradicional de como hacer esto es con el comando Cluster.exe, pero para esto deberíamos habilitar el cmd shell lo cual nunca es recomendable.
Por suerte desde 2008 tenemos de forma nativa en los jobs incorporar rutinas de powershell, pero hasta ese entonces la única salida era seguir acudiendo al cluster.exe.
Esto ha cambiado con la salida de Windows Server 2008 R2 (no confundir con SQL Server 2008 R2!!!), donde se ha incorporado un modulo de cluster al powershell que hace muy comoda su adminstración.
Para utilizar este modulo primero debemos entrar a nuestra consola de powershell y ejecutar el siguiente comando:
Import-Module FailoverClusters
Con esto se incorporarán las funciones de cluster y podremos utilizarlas. En mi caso me ha servido porque en conjunto con SQL 2008 puedo llamarlas desde un job de sql configurandolo con rutina powershell y
esto es flexible y seguro.
Les adjunto un link de como pasar las tareas de Cluster.exe a powershell:

====================================================================
When working with SQL in high availability is very common to work over windows cluster and dealing with various tasks involving both sql server and the windows cluster.
The traditional way of how to do this is with the command Cluster.exe, but for this should enable the cmd shell it is never recommended.
Luckily since 2008 We have powershell natively in jobs routines, but the only way out was to keep going to the cluster.exe.
This has changed with the release of Windows Server 2008 R2 (not to be confused with SQL Server 2008 R2!!!), which has a powershell module of the cluster that makes it very comfortable its management.
To use this module must first enter our powershell console and run the following command:
Import-Module FailoverClusters
This will incorporate the functions of cluster and we use them. In my case I have served it in conjunction with SQL 2008 I can call them from a sql job of setting it powershell with routine and that is
flexible and secure.
