Cluster Administrator supports command-line parameters. If you start Cluster Administrator from the command line, you can connect to one or more clusters by specifying the cluster name, the name of one of the cluster nodes, or the name of a cluster IP address.
When you specify the clusters to connect to using the Cluster Administrator command line, Cluster Administrator will not try to restore your most recent cluster connections. You can also prevent Cluster Administrator from restoring your most recent cluster connections by specifying the cluadmin /noreconnect command at the command line.
For more information on administering a cluster from the command line, see Managing a server cluster from the command line.
