DESCRIPTION

The Enable-StorageHighAvailability cmdlet enables a clusterable disk that is not yet a cluster resource to be added to the failover cluster.





PARAMETERS

-CimSession [<CimSession[]>]

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or

Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-DiskFriendlyName <String[]>

Specifies an array of friendly names for disks.



Required? true

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? true(ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-DiskNumber <UInt32[]>

Specifies an array of disk numbers.



Required? true

Position? 1

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? true(ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-DiskPath <String[]>

Specifies an array of disk paths.



Required? true

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? true(ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-DiskUniqueId <String[]>

Specifies an array of disk IDs.



Required? true

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? true(ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-PassThru [<SwitchParameter>]

Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-ScaleOut [<SwitchParameter>]



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-ThrottleLimit [<Int32>]

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is

entered, then Windows PowerShell???? calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the

computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,

ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,

OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see

about_CommonParameters (https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).



INPUTS











OUTPUTS











Example 1: Enable a disk in a failover cluster by using its ID



This command uses the Get-Disk cmdlet to display the properties of disk number 9.

PS C:\\>Get-Disk -Number 9 | Format-Table -Property Number,IsHighlyAvailable,IsClustered,IsScaleOut

Number IsHighlyAvailable IsClustered IsScaleOut

------ ----------------- ----------- ----------

9 False False False



The next command enables disk number 9. The final command repeats the first command to display the new status of the disk.

PS C:\\>Enable-StorageHighAvailability -DiskNumber 9

PS C:\\> Get-Disk -Number 9 | Format-Table Number,IsHighlyAvailable,IsClustered,IsScaleOut

Number IsHighlyAvailable IsClustered IsScaleOut

------ ----------------- ----------- ----------

9 True True True



This command enables a shared disk to be added to the failover cluster and made a Cluster Shared Volume by using the disk number as the identifier of

the disk to enable.





Example 2: Enable a disk for failover cluster without it being enabled for Cluster Shared Volumes



This command uses Get-Disk to display the properties of disk number 9.

PS C:\\>Get-Disk -Number 9 | Format-Table -Property Number,IsHighlyAvailable,IsClustered,IsScaleOut



Number IsHighlyAvailable IsClustered IsScaleOut

------ ----------------- ----------- ----------

9 False False False





The next command enables disk number 9. The command specifies a value of 0 for the Scaleout parameter. This command leaves the disk in available storage

and not enabled. The final command repeats the first command to display the new status of the disk.

PS C:\\>Enable-StorageHighAvailability -DiskNumber 9 -ScaleOut 0

PS C:\\> Get-Disk -Number 9 | Format-Table Number,IsHighlyAvailable,IsClustered,IsScaleOut



Number IsHighlyAvailable IsClustered IsScaleOut

------ ----------------- ----------- ----------

9 True True False



This example enables a shared disk to be added to the failover cluster and made a Cluster Shared Volume by using the disk number. The example makes the

disk available but enabled for Cluster Shared Volume.
