Add-ClusterDisk
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.
Parameters
-Cluster
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.

cmdlet.

Inputs
Microsoft.FailoverClusters.PowerShell.ClusterDiskInfo
This object is output from the Get-Disk
and the Get-VirtualDisk
cmdlets.
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.
