HP EVA Cluster Extension Software Administrator Guide (5697-2445, July 2013)

NOTES:
The VM roles created using Failover Cluster Manager GUI are supported.
"Virtual Machine Configuration" resource must 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 EVA",
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-VMDependencyOnCLXEVA
This command first finds out all the virtual machine configuration resources that are residing on all
the cluster shared volumes. After getting all virtual machine configurations, it tries to make each
virtual machine configuration dependent on resource of type "Cluster Extension EVA for VM
Management".
If virtual machine configuration is already dependent on "Cluster Extension EVA 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 EVA 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 EVA for VM Management" type resource. If it
is not present, a new resource of type "Cluster Extension EVA for VM Management" is created
and virtual machine configuration resource is made dependent on it.
While creating the dependency, the virtual machine configuration resource must be offline, otherwise
the 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 EVA", then an error is thrown and no further operations are
performed on that VM.

TOTAL VIRTUAL MACHINE(S) IN THE CLUSTER: 1
VM role: "New Virtual Machine" is present on cluster shared volume :
"Cluster Disk 1" which is not dependent on resource of type "Cluster
Extension EVA". Ensure that cluster shared volume is made dependent on
"Cluster Extension EVA" before doing further operations.
