Add a group containing only a client access point and storage to the failover cluster configuration.

Syntax

Add-ClusterServerRole [-InputObject <psobject>] [[-Name] <string>] [-Cluster <string>] [-IgnoreNetwork <StringCollection>] [-StaticAddress <StringCollection>] [-Storage <StringCollection>] [-Wait <int>] [<CommonParameters>]

InputObject
Name
Cluster
IgnoreNetwork
StaticAddress
Storage
Wait

Detailed Description

After adding the group, you can add other resources to create a functional clustered service or application.

Parameters

Cluster

Specifies the name of the cluster to run this cmdlet on. If you type "-Cluster ." or omit the parameter, the cmdlet runs on the local cluster.
