Set-ClusterResourceDependency
Specify the resources that a particular resource depends on within a failover cluster. Existing dependencies will be overwritten by the dependencies that you specify.
Syntax
Set-ClusterResourceDependency [-InputObject] [[-Resource] ] [[-Dependency] ] [-Cluster ] [ ]
- InputObject
- Resource
- Dependency
- Cluster
Detailed Description
You can use “or” in the expression describing the dependency. An example for using “or”: you can set up a dependency where a Network Name resource is dependent on either of two IP Address resources (instead of being dependent on both). This use of “or” dependencies is common in multi-site cluster deployments.
Parameters
Cluster
Specifies the name of the cluster to run this cmdlet on. If you type “-Cluster .” or omit the parameter, the cmdlet runs on the local cluster.

Dependency
Specifies the dependency expression to set for this resource. The format for this is string is “[Resource Name 1] [and|or [Resource Name 2] […] ]”.

Examples
————————– EXAMPLE 1 ————————–
Set-ClusterResourceDependency cluster1FS12 "[IP Address 151.56.48.0]"
Description
———–
This command makes the resource called cluster1FS12 dependent on [IP Address 151.56.48.0].
————————– EXAMPLE 2 ————————–
Set-ClusterResourceDependency cluster1FS12 "[IP Address 151.56.48.0] or [New IP Address]"
Description
———–
This command makes the resource called cluster1FS12 dependent on either [IP Address 151.56.48.0] or [New IP Address].
————————– EXAMPLE 3 ————————–
Set-ClusterResourceDependency cluster1FS12 ""
Description
———–
This command clears the dependency list for the resource cluster1FS12, so that it no longer depends on any other resources.
