HP 3PAR StoreServ Cluster Extension Software Administrator Guide

A virtual machine configuration resource is brought online after the "Cluster Extension 3PAR for

VM Management" type resource that it depends on. Likewise, virtual machine configuration resource

is taken offline before the "Cluster Extension 3PAR for VM Management" type resource that it

depends on.

PARAMETERS:

-CSVDiskName <String>

Specifies the cluster shared volume name for which all the virtual machine(s) residing on it will be

made dependent on resource of type "Cluster Extension 3PAR for VM Management".

falseRequired?

namedPosition?

Default value

falseAccept pipeline input?

falseAccept wildcard characters?

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug, ErrorAction,

ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable, OutBuffer and OutVariable.

For more information, see about_CommonParameters (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?

LinkID=113216).

INPUTS:

Does not accept input object.

OUTPUTS:

Does not return object.

NOTES:

The VM roles created using Failover Cluster Manager GUI are supported.

"Virtual Machine Configuration" resource has to be offline while trying to add the dependency.

If a VM is residing on a CSV 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.

The Confirm parameter and the Force switch parameter are provided.

The cmdlet performs the operations irrespective of the storage array type of CSV.

Online help for the cmdlet is not supported.

Example 1

C:\PS>Add-VMDependencyOnCLX3PAR

This command first finds out all the virtual machine configuration resources which are residing on

all the cluster shared volumes. After getting all such virtual machine configurations, it tries to make

each virtual machine configuration dependent on resource of type "Cluster Extension 3PAR for VM

Management".

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.
