With the official release of Windows Nano Server 2016 to the public I have decided to revise most of my Nano Server articles to reflect the latest release.
In this article I’ll show you how I Install the Failover Cluster role on my Nano Server.
To get started:
- Download Nano Server 2016
- Connect to It using Remote PowerShell.
- Install Nano Server Package Provider
Run the code below to Install Failover Clustering:
Import-PackageProvider NanoServerPackage find-NanoServerPackage -Name * install-NanoServerPackage -name Microsoft-NanoServer-FailoverCluster-Package -culture en-us
Restart Nano Server when done using restart-computer
Once configured use cluster manager from another machine to manage the Nano Server cluster.
Important: Currently the Failover clustering cmdlets are not available from the local Nano Server PowerShell.
