Adds a resource to the list of resources on which a particular resource depends, using AND as the connector, within a failover cluster.

Syntax

Add-ClusterResourceDependency
   [[-Resource] <String>]
   [[-Provider] <String>]
   [-InputObject <PSObject>]
   [-Cluster <String>]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Add-ClusterResourceDependency cmdlet adds a resource to the list of resources on which a particular resource depends, using AND as the connector, within a failover cluster. Existing dependencies will remain in the list.

A dependent resource is brought online after the resources on which it depends. A dependent resource is taken offline before the resources on which it depends.

Examples

Example 1

PS C:\> Add-ClusterResourceDependency -Cluster "FileServer-(cluster1FS12)(Cluster Disk 2)" -Resource "Cluster Disk 4"
Name                State               Group               ResourceType
