Add-ClusterDisk
Make a new disk available for use in a failover cluster. The disk (LUN) must be exposed to all nodes in the failover cluster, and should not be exposed to any other servers.
Add-ClusterDisk [-InputObject] <ClusterDiskInfo[]> [<CommonParameters>]
- InputObject
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 should not be exposed to servers outside the cluster. The cmdlet Get-ClusterAvailableDisk gets information about disks that you can add to the cluster.
Specifies the list of shared disks to add to the cluster. The list of disks is generated with the Get-ClusterAvailableDisk cmdlet.
