Summary

This chapter described the implementation and management of a two - node SCC cluster. The first half of

the chapter described the individual components and how through PowerShell these install steps are

automated. Before PowerShell, performing an automated install would have required knowledge of

batch scripts, Visual Basic, and a hodgepodge of unattended files and still would not have provided the

same result as using PowerShell. Using PowerShell in conjunction with system and application

commands provides for an easier, more efficient use of scripts to perform common administrative tasks.

The power of having .NET functionality built in allows for manipulation of variables, objects, and data

that is more robust and has a better framework.
