If virtual machine configuration is already dependent on "Cluster Extension 3PAR for VM
Management", then the cmdlet moves to the next virtual machine configuration on a CSV.
However if there is no existing dependency on "Cluster Extension 3PAR for VM Management" but
resource of this type is already existing in the VM role, virtual machine configuration resource is
made dependent on the existing "Cluster Extension 3PAR for VM Management" type resource. If
it is not present, a new resource of type "Cluster Extension 3PAR for VM Management" is created
and virtual machine configuration resource is made dependent on it.
While creating the dependency virtual machine configuration resource should be offline else
dependency is not created.
If a virtual machine configuration is residing on a cluster shared volume which is not dependent
on resource of type "Cluster Extension 3PAR", then an error is thrown and no further operations
are performed on that VM.
