Detailed Description

Imports nodes from the lists of nodes in one or more specified node XML files, and adds the nodes to the HPC cluster.

Parameters

-Path<String[]>

Specifies a list of names for one or more node XML files from which you want to import nodes, including the relative or full path if the files are not in the current directory. The file name and path must be valid.

Aliases	none
Required?	true
Position?	1
Default Value	no default
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	true

-Scheduler<String>

Specifies the host name or IP address of the head node for the cluster to which you want to add the compute nodes. The value must be a valid computer name or IP address. If you do not specify the Scheduler parameter, this cmdlet uses the scheduler on the head node that the CCP_SCHEDULER environment variable specifies. To set this environment variable, run the following cmdlet:

Set-Content Env:CCP_SCHEDULER <head_node_name>

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	%CCP_SCHEDULER%
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command.

Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-WhatIf

Describes what would happen if you executed the command without actually executing the command.

Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters

Inputs

The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.

None.

Outputs

The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.

None.

Notes

The Import-HpcNodeXML cmdlet skips any nodes that are already part of the HPC cluster and have a known state. You can use this cmdlet to update properties of nodes that are in the unknown state. The Import-HpcNodeXML cmdlet corresponds to the process of adding compute nodes under Configuration in HPC Cluster Manager. The cmdlet provisions the nodes and leaves the nodes in the offline state after provisioning is complete. You can bring the nodes online by running the Set-HpcNodeState cmdlet or by using HPC Cluster Manager.
For information about creating a node XML file that you can import, see Appendix 2: Creating a Node XML File. (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=124145)
The built-in ConfirmImpact setting for this cmdlet is High. If this ConfirmImpact setting is equal to or higher than the value of the $ConfirmPreference variable for your environment, the cmdlet prompts for confirmation unless you specify –Confirm:$false. If this ConfirmImpact setting is lower than the value of the $ConfirmPreference variable for your environment, the cmdlet does not prompt for confirmation unless you specify –Confirm or –Confirm:$true.
You must be a cluster administrator to run this cmdlet successfully.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Imports the compute nodes listed in the XML file located at C:\MyNodeXMLFiles\NewNodes.xml, and adds those nodes to the cluster.
