Get-ClusterAvailableDisk

Get-ClusterAvailableDisk

Gets information about the disks that can support Failover Clustering and are visible to all nodes, but are not yet part of the set of clustered disks.

Syntax

Parameter Set: InputObject
Get-ClusterAvailableDisk [[-Cluster] <String> ] [-Disk <CimInstance> ] [-InputObject <PSObject> ] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The Get-ClusterAvailableDisk cmdlet gets information about the disks that can support Failover Clustering and are visible to all nodes, but are not yet part of the set of clustered disks.

If a disk is unexpectedly missing from the list of disks that are available for use in the cluster, then make sure that the configuration of the storage allows the operating system on all clustered servers 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 any other servers.

Parameters

-Cluster<String>

Specifies the name of the cluster on which to run this cmdlet. If the input for this parameter is . or it is omitted, then the cmdlet runs on the local cluster.
