I hope this is getting posted in the right section. The issue I’m having is I’m trying to write a script that I can use to fail over a group of servers and I want to make sure that if the server is already on the preferred node that it will not get failed over. Here is the script that I have:by DonJ at 2013-01-15 14:43:20Thanks, but I have actually changed up my script a little bit, and now it is breaking at a different place. Maybe you could explain why I am getting the following error. Here is my script:
import-module failoverclusters
$i=0
$clustername = get-content "c:\ClusterName.txt"
$Oddservers = get-content @("c:\Odds.txt")
Foreach ($cname in $clustername)
{
$PreferredOwner = Get-clusterownernode -cluster $cname -group $oddservers[$i] | select-object -ExpandProperty OwnerNodes -Unique
$CurrentOwner = get-clustergroup -cluster $cname -name $oddservers[$i] | select-object -ExpandProperty OwnerNode -Unique
if ($preferredOwner -eq $Currentowner)
{$i++}
elseif ($PreferredOwner -ne $CurrentOwner)
{
move-clustergroup -cluster $cname -name $Oddservers[$i]
$i++
}
}
When it runs through the line $CurrentOwner = get-clustergroup -cluster $cname -name $oddservers[$i] | select-object -ExpandProperty OwnerNode -Unique I get the following error on my screen:

Any help would be much appreciated.

It looks like you have a breakpoint defined. Run Get-PSBreakpoint to check. If it’s the [DBG] output you’re concerned about.by dmittel at 2013-01-15 16:08:28
The error is because you’re passing a PSObject to -Name, but it wants a String collection. In other words, the object in $oddserver[$i] isn’t what -Name wants.
The problem may be how you’re wrapping the command in @(). Get-Content already returns an array of strings; you’ve put that array into another array. Try removing the @().
Thanks Don, I tried that, but it still did not work. I even tried setting the array into another variable and that is where I see another problem.by DonJ at 2013-01-15 16:41:31
When I triedThanks, but I have actually changed up my script a little bit, and now it is breaking at a different place. Maybe you could explain why I am getting the following error. Here is my script:
import-module failoverclusters
$i=0
$clustername = get-content "c:\ClusterName.txt"
$Oddservers = get-content "c:\Odds.txt"
Foreach ($cname in $clustername)
{
$Oddservers[$i] = $oserver
$PreferredOwner = Get-clusterownernode -cluster $cname -group $oserver | select-object -ExpandProperty OwnerNodes -Unique
$CurrentOwner = get-clustergroup -cluster $cname -name $oserver | select-object -ExpandProperty OwnerNode -Unique
if ($preferredOwner -eq $Currentowner)
{$i++}
elseif ($PreferredOwner -ne $CurrentOwner)
{
move-clustergroup -cluster $cname -name $Oddservers[$i]
$i++
}
}
It wasnt passing the value to the new variable. It didnt matter if wrapped the Get-Content in the @() or not. What else might I be missing?
What does that text file contain?by dmittel at 2013-01-15 22:24:26
The odds.txt file just contains a list of the nodes:
test-vps-2008-b
test-vps-2008-d
The clusternames.txt file contains a list of the cluters
c-test-ps-ab
c-test-ps-dc
