Add-ClusterDisk

Add-ClusterDisk

SYNOPSIS

Makes a new disk available for use in a failover cluster.

SYNTAX

Add-ClusterDisk [-InputObject] <PSObject[]> [-Cluster <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

The Add-ClusterDisk cmdlet makes a new disk available for use in a failover cluster. The disk (LUN) must be exposed to all nodes in the failover cluster, and shouldn't be exposed to any other servers.

When adding a disk, make sure that the configuration of the storage allows the operating system to recognize and mount the disk as needed. The disk must be a basic disk, not a dynamic disk, and shouldn't be exposed to servers outside the cluster. The Get-ClusterAvailableDisk cmdlet gets information about disks that you can add to the cluster.

EXAMPLES

Example 1: Add available disks to the Available Storage group

Get-ClusterAvailableDisk | Add-ClusterDisk

This example identifies the disks that are ready to be added to the cluster, and then adds them to Available Storage cluster group.

Example 2: Add a specific available disk to Available Storage

Get-ClusterAvailableDisk | Where-Object -FilterScript { $_.ScsiAddress -Eq 50331651 } | Add-ClusterDisk

This example examines disks that are ready to be added to the cluster, finds the disk with a specific SCSI address, and adds it to Available Storage cluster group.

Example 3: Cluster a physical disk

Get-Disk -Number 11 | Add-ClusterDisk

This example clusters a physical disk. This cmdlet adds a physical disk to the cluster Available Storage.

Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-InputObject

Specifies the list of shared disks to add to the cluster. The list of disks is generated with the Get-ClusterAvailableDisk cmdlet.

Required: True
Position: 0
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters: False

INPUTS

Microsoft.FailoverClusters.PowerShell.ClusterDiskInfo

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance

This object is output from the Get-Disk and the Get-VirtualDisk cmdlets.

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_Disk

The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_VirtualDisk

The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.
