I tried below command
Get-Module -ListAvailable
But it did not showed me "FailoverClusters" in the list
From where I can download this module? Do I have to install any SDK?
Note: I do not want to install Azure SDK. Is there any other way?
Update
I am using my local windows 10 to remote connect to the Azure Virtual Machine (Windows Server 2012 R2). I do want to manage all configurations using powershell from my local windows 10 machine.
As jisaak already explained, the FailoverClusters module is installed when you install the Failover Clustering feature on a Windows Server.
If, however, you want to manage a cluster from a computer without the Failover Clustering feature installed, this is what you do:
Download the appropriate version of Remote Server Administration Tools
Run the installer
Navigate to the Programs and Features control panel pane (run appwiz.cpl)
Choose "Turn Windows Features on or off"
Find the "Failover Cluster Management" feature under Remote Server Administration Tools
Enable it
Voila
The FailoverClusters Windows PowerShell module is installed on the
computer with the Failover Clustering feature
Source
Install the Failover Clustering Feature

Can I install Hyper-V in Linux? Suppose our Hyper-V Manager install in windows server . Do I able to backup on Linux? What will be the best solution to backup Hyper-V Manager?
I am afraid, you have not described the problem clearly or defined your problem. Hyper-V Manager is Microsoft's virtualization management platform and does not support installation on Linux systems, but it can back up with Linux virtual machines(e.g. CentOS RHEL etc.).
reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/zh-cn/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/about/supported-guest-os
You can not install Hyper-v on Linux.
To reduce costs you can use Hyper-v server without passing to Windows server and enable the hyper-v feature.
Veeam backup is the most powerful solution to make backups for Hyper-v or vCenter.
I'm having trouble with installing PowerShell 5 on Windows Server 2012 R2 using Packer.
To install PowerShell 5.1, I'm using chocolatey
powershell
iwr https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1 -UseBasicParsing | iex
choco install PowerShell -y
I need to to do this for two packer builder:
Amazon Web Services EC2 AMI.
Hyper-V Vagrant.
With the Amazon Web Services EC2 AMI I've tried executing the above from the following locations
As part of the user_data_file script.
As an inline provision script.
I've added the windows-restart provision in the flow after the execution of the fragment.
Similarly I've tried the same with the Hyper-V Vagrant both as part of the Autounattend flow and as an inline provision.
In both cases the installation fails because the user profile is not created. At least I think that is the problem. As a reference, I've faced the exact same problem when installing sql server express.
Has anyone managed to accomplish this flow and what is your recommendation?
PowerShell package uses MSU (Windows Update file). There are a couple of considerations here:
Ensure Windows Updates Service is turned on. Chocolatey doesn't do that yet, although there is an issue filed.
MSUs must be run locally from the machine. So if you are running over WinRM, you instead need to have it set up a scheduled task to call choco install and then run it that way.
Yes, that second point is accurate. No, it is not Chocolatey's fault. That's a Microsoft design decision with MSU files. It's a real PITA.
FYI - BoxStarter handles it appropriately, and it can be used with Packer. You will find less pain if you look there.

I understand that RSAT is used to manage domain controllers remotely from a computer that is not a domain controller,I found links to download RSAT for Windows 8, 7 or Vista, but nothing to download it on a windows server. I need to use it on a windows server 2012, is this possible ?
On Windows Server 2012 (and 2008 as well) the Remote Server Administration Tools are available for installation using the Add Roles and Features wizard, so you don't need to download it like you would on a client OS, eg you can install the tools from there without installing the associated roles.
You'll find it under Features and you can then install all of them or just those tools you need. You'll also find Group Policy Management listed separately under the features list, though I'm not sure why it's not listed under the RSAT items.
OK, I am having a problem setting up a virtual machine in Hyper-V, I’m not getting the use of the mouse. When I connect to the machine from Hyper-V and click somewhere I get:
Virtual Machine Connection
Mouse not captured in Remote Desktop session.
The mouse is available in a Remote Desktop session when integration services are installed in the guest operating system.
If I try the same from Virtual Machine Manager I get:
Virtual Machine Connection
The mouse is unavailable in a Remote Desktop session when virtual guest services are not installed in the guest operating system.
The operating system is Vista Ultimate x86 Service Pack 2.
I have installed the integration services disk (Action | Insert Integration Services Setup Disk). This runs through the installation, says it was successful and prompts for a restart. After the restart I log in, click on something and get the same error above.
I have been Googling and as a result I have tried:
Detecting the HAL
Adding a 2nd CPU
Installed all available Windows updates
Trying installing the integration services again by running as administrator
Building a new Vista machine
Importing a Vista .vhd file from VirtualBox
Nothing. No joy.
Does anyone know how I can allow my Vista machine to accept the mouse?
Thank you.
This might sound trivial, but have you tried enabling "Guest Services" on the Vista VM? Here is how you can do it:
* From Hyper-V manager, right click on the Vista VM and go to Settings
* Management > Integration Services > Check "Guest Services".
If that does not help, let me know the version of your Windows host and also the result of following Powershell cmdlet (You need to execute this when VM is running):
Get-VM -Name <Your VM Name> | Select IntegrationServicesVersion, IntegrationServicesState
Typically, attaching the ISO file from Host's "C:\Windows\System32\vmguest.iso" and running the Setup from inside the VM should enable Mouse on Vista VMs. This is automatically done when you do "Insert Integration Services Setup Disk" action.
Hopefully it is not too late. First of all, you need to turn off the VM, and change the OS type to Vista in VM summary. Then you are allowed to install Virtual Guest Services. After installation, issue disappeared.
Basically I think the issue is from the fact that Hyper-V was not to identify the OS correctly.
I added all the hyper-v system devices in manually. Check with another working VM to see what system devices are not shown. Re-started and it worked fine.
I'm running on Windows 7 and I want to be able to access the remote linux server at my school to run eclipse and do my programming assignments.
I installed cygwin, and ssh into the server, but whenever I run the "eclipse" command, it says "Eclipse: Cannot open display".
Is there any additional software I need to do, or commands I need to run in order to display the gui from my windows 7 computer?
aside from just running eclipse on my own computer, I want to do it remotely.
thank you
You need to:
Run an X server on your Windows machine; there's an xorg-server package in cygwin, use that (or the independent Xming).
Configure your ssh client to forward X11 traffic to the X server on your windows machine.
Here's a more detailed tutorial on doing this.
