Stopping a clusterresource would stop the clusterresource from working. I think The cluster-node should be suspended as second step

According to one of the resources in the solution (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/174799/how-to-update-windows-server-failover-clusters) you suspend the node first then move the cluster group Suspend (Pause) activity on failover cluster node A by running the following command: Suspend-ClusterNode nodeA Move a clustered service or application (a resource group) from one node to another by running the following command: Move-ClusterGroup <clustered service> -Node nodeB

Step 2 should be stop-clusternode https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/failoverclusters/stop-clusternode?view=win10-ps

Pausing (suspending) a node is usually done when applying software updates to the node, where the recommended sequence is to move all services and applications off of the node, pause the node, then apply software updates to the node. If you need to perform extensive diagnosis or maintenance on a cluster node, it might be more workable to stop (not pause) the Cluster service on that node.

I agree with Jamie, Pausing (suspending) a node is usually done when applying software updates to the node, where the recommended sequence is to move all services and applications off of the node, pause the node, then apply software updates to the node.

stop-clusterresource will take the whole resource offline. stop-clusternode isn't an option.
