FailoverClusters module is not getting listed while running the cmdlet Get-Module -ListAvailable

Question

I tried below command

    Get-Module -ListAvailable

But it did not showed me "FailoverClusters" in the list

From where I can download this module? Do I have to install any SDK? Note: I do not want to install Azure SDK. Is there any other way?

Update I am using my local windows 10 to remote connect to the Azure Virtual Machine (Windows Server 2012 R2). I do want to manage all configurations using powershell from my local windows 10 machine.

Download and install the appropriate version of the Remote Server Administration Tools, then enable the "Failover Cluster Management" feature — Mathias R. Jessen, Mar 31 '16 at 12:24

As jisaak already explained, the FailoverClusters module is installed when you install the Failover Clustering feature on a Windows Server.

If, however, you want to manage a cluster from a computer without the Failover Clustering feature installed, this is what you do:

Download the appropriate version of Remote Server Administration Tools
Run the installer
Navigate to the Programs and Features control panel pane (run appwiz.cpl)
Choose "Turn Windows Features on or off"
Find the "Failover Cluster Management" feature under Remote Server Administration Tools
Enable it

Voila

RSAT contains the module as well, no need to add the Failover Clustering feature – Mathias R. Jessen Mar 31 '16 at 12:25
what you mean by RSAT ? Remote Server Admin Tool? – kudlatiger Mar 31 '16 at 12:28

He is right. With RSAT he means Remote Server Administration Tools. – Martin Brandl Mar 31 '16 at 12:29
I want to use remote desktop from my local system. I can not add fail over clustering feature in local machine. so from your comment i sense that we have to use powershell inside virtual machine – kudlatiger Mar 31 '16 at 12:38

@codetoshare No, RSAT works on non-server versions of Windows as well – Mathias R. Jessen Mar 31 '16 at 12:44
