Windows Server 2012 Cluster shutdown procedures


what proper way shut down cluster?

we have been testing find way have node shutdown without vms moving on place.

we have 3 node cluster in production, test different shutdown procedures have set 2 node cluster share in node , file share majority.

my goal shut down cluster without of vms moving different host.

thus far have tried pausing nodes not drain roles specified. have 1 role off , other running. understand in ha cluster ideally want of roles transfer online host whether running or not, there has way force role stay on failure. right now, if have shut down our cluster in event power out , run out of battery, not know vm when come online.

i understand can specify preferred node vm, there way set cluster when node shut down vms not transfer? looking create powershell script run ups when reach run time, have no idea process is, don't know how script in line.

any suggestions appreciated. until keep reading , testing.

thank you

what difference make node vm using?  understand saying how doing it, guess don't understand what trying accomplish.  people build clusters because want vms stay , running.  powershell, can manipulate vms within cluster.  maybe explanation of needs done instead of how trying helpful.
