I have a 2-node failover cluster for testing some of our Hyper-V automation Powershell scripts. I evicted node 2, so that I could run the upgrade to Server 2012 Datacenter. The upgrade seems to have executed OK. Now when I log into node 2, I can no longer do "ipmo failoverclusters" in powershell. I can also no longer locate Failover Cluster Manager.
When I launch Server Manager, I can see that Failover Clustering is listed as a feature in my Roles and Features list on the local server (ie. node 2).
Is there something I might be missing in my setup? I haven't activated windows yet since the upgrade, could that be the cause?

After you evict the node you'll probably want to uninstall Failover Clustering then do the upgrade then install Failover Clustering again. At this point I'd try uninstalling Failover Clustering then reinstall it. As there's no way to upgrade a cluster they probably don't put much support behind upgrading a machine that has the Failover Cluster features installed.
