Add-ClusterDisk
Add-ClusterDisk
Makes a new disk available for use in a failover cluster.
Syntax
Parameter Set: Default
Add-ClusterDisk [-InputObject] <PSObject[]> [-Cluster <String> ] [ <CommonParameters>]
Detailed 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 should not 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 should not be exposed to servers outside the cluster. The Get-ClusterAvailableDisk cmdlet gets information about disks that you can add to the cluster.
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.

<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=113216).
Inputs
The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.
Microsoft.FailoverClusters.PowerShell.ClusterDiskInfo
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance
This object is output from the Get-Disk and the Get-VirtualDisk cmdlets.
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_Disk
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.Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_VirtualDisk

Outputs
The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.

Examples
Example 1
This example identifies the disks that are ready to be added to the cluster, and then adds them to Available Storage cluster group.
PS C:\> Get-ClusterAvailableDisk | Add-ClusterDisk
EXAMPLE 2
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.
PS C:\> Get-ClusterAvailableDisk | Where-Object –FilterScript { $_.ScsiAddress -Eq 50331651 } | Add-ClusterDisk
EXAMPLE 3
This example clusters a physical disk; this cmdlet adds a physical disk to the Available Storage for the cluster.
PS C:\> Get-Disk –Number 11 | Add-Clusterdisk
