Add-ClusterResourceDependency

  • Reference
Module:
FailoverClusters

Adds a resource to the list of resources on which a particular resource depends, using AND as the connector, within a failover cluster.

Syntax

Add-ClusterResourceDependency
   [[-Resource] <String>]
   [[-Provider] <String>]
   [-InputObject <PSObject>]
   [-Cluster <String>]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Add-ClusterResourceDependency cmdlet adds a resource to the list of resources on which a particular resource depends, using AND as the connector, within a failover cluster. Existing dependencies will remain on the list. If you specify the InputObject parameter, the Resource parameter will be ignored.

A dependent resource is brought online after the resources on which it depends. A dependent resource is taken offline before the resources on which it depends.

Examples

Example 1

PS C:\> Add-ClusterResourceDependency -Resource "FileServer-(cluster1FS12)" -Provider "Cluster Disk 4"
Name                State               Group               ResourceType
