Add-ClusterScaleOutFileServerRole
Creates a clustered file server for scale-out application data.
Syntax

[[-Name] <String>]
[-Wait <Int32>]
[-Infrastructure]
[-InputObject <PSObject>]
[-Cluster <String>]
[<CommonParameters>]
Description
The Add-ClusterScaleOutFileServerRole
cmdlet creates a clustered file server for scale-out
application data. A file server for scale-out application data provides storage for applications or
virtual machines that leave files open for extended periods of time. Client connections are
distributed across nodes for better throughput. This type of file server supports the Server Message
Block (SMB) protocol. It doesn't support the Network File System (NFS) protocol, or certain role
services such as File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) or Distributed File System (DFS) Replication.
Note
This cmdlet cannot be run remotely without Credential Security Service Provider (CredSSP) authentication on the server computer.
Examples
Example 1
Add-ClusterScaleOutFileServerRole
This example creates a highly available scale-out file server role.
Example 2
Add-ClusterScaleOutFileServerRole -Wait 0
This example creates a highly available scale out file server role. The cmdlet completes without waiting for all resources to come online.
Example 3
Add-ClusterScaleOutFileServerRole -Cluster MyCluster -Infrastructure -Name InfraSOFSName
This example creates an infrastructure file server scale-out file server role. It automatically
creates a single namespace share for the CSV drive (such as \\InfraSOFSName\Volume1
). In
hyper-converged configurations, an infrastructure scale-out file server allows an SMB client
(Hyper-V host) to communicate with guaranteed continuous availability with the infrastructure
scale-out SMB file server. There can be at most only one infrastructure scale-out file server
cluster role on a failover cluster.
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.
Type: | String |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Infrastructure
Specifies whether to create infrastructure file server scale-out file server role.
Type: | SwitchParameter |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-InputObject
Specifies the cluster on which to create the highly available scale-out file server.
Type: | PSObject |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | True |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Name
Specifies the name of the highly available scale-out file server being created.
Type: | String |
Position: | 0 |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Wait
Specifies the time in seconds to wait for the cmdlet. If the Wait parameter isn't specified,
then the cmdlet waits for completion. If the value 0
is specified, then the call is initiated and
the cmdlet returns without waiting.
Type: | Int32 |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
