Description
The Add-ClusterResourceType cmdlet adds a resource type to a failover cluster, and specifies
information such as the dynamic-link library (DLL) to use with that resource type.
The failover cluster software provides Resource DLL files for the most common types of resources. Using the application programming interface (API) provided in the Microsoft Platform Software Development Kit (SDK), other vendors can add support for other resource types.
Note
This cmdlet cannot be run remotely without Credential Security Service Provider (CredSSP) authentication on the server computer.
Examples
Example 1
Add-ClusterResourceType -Name ResType3 -InputObject C:\res3.dll
This example creates ResType3 on the local cluster using res3.dll located on the provided
resource DLL file path C:\.
Example 2
Add-ClusterResourceType -Name ResType4 -InputObject C:\res4.dll -DisplayName "Resource Type 4"
This example creates ResType4 on the local cluster using res4.dll located on the provided
resource DLL file path C:\. The display name of the resource type is Resource Type 4.
Parameters
