Uninstall-SCVMHostCluster

Uninstalls (destroys) a failover cluster managed by VMM.

Description

Examples

1: Destroy an existing cluster. 
PS C:\> $Cluster = Get-SCVMHostCluster -Name "Cluster01"
PS C:\> Uninstall-SCVMHostCluster -VMHostCluster $Cluster

The first command gets the cluster object named Cluster01 and stores the object in the $Cluster variable.

The second command destroys the cluster stored in $Cluster (in this case, Cluster01). After the cluster is destroyed, each host will be managed by VMM as a stand-alone host.
