resource in the CSV group dependent on the newly created resource of type "Cluster Extension
XP".
If CLX resource already exists in the given CSV role, then the cmdlet verifies whether CSV is already
dependent on the resource of type "Cluster Extension XP". If the CSV is already dependent on the
CLX resource, then the cmdlet moves to the next CSV (if you have not specified any particular CSV).
In the absence of dependency on the existing CLX resource, the cmdlet creates a dependency of
CSV resource in the CSV group on resource of type "Cluster Extension XP".
Because of this configuration, whenever CSV role is brought online, resource of type "Cluster
Extension XP" is the first resource to come online and then the dependent CSV disk comes online.
This ensures that CLX resource can do all the necessary storage related status gathering and failover
operations before CSV disk can come online.
PARAMETERS:
-CSVDiskName <String>
Specifies the cluster shared volume name which will be made dependent on resource of type
"Cluster Extension XP”.
falseRequired?
namedPosition?
Default value
falseAccept pipeline input?
falseAccept wildcard characters?
<CommonParameters>
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 objects.
OUTPUTS:
Does not return object.
NOTES:
CSV resource must be offline while trying to add the dependency.
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-CSVDependencyOnCLXXP
This command first finds out all the cluster shared volumes in the cluster. After getting all such CSVs,
it tries to make each CSV dependent on resource of type "Cluster Extension XP".
If CSV is already dependent on "Cluster Extension XP", then the cmdlet moves to the next CSV in
the cluster.
However, if there is no existing dependency on "Cluster Extension XP" but resource of this type is
existing in the corresponding CSV group, CSV resource is made dependent on the existing "Cluster
Extension XP" type resource. If it is not present, a new resource of type "Cluster Extension XP" is
created and the CSV resource is made dependent on it.
