Description

The New-ClusterFaultDomain cmdlet creates a fault domain in the cluster. Additionally, you can specify the relationship between the fault domains when they are created.

Examples

Example 1: Create a cluster fault domain in an existing fault domain

New-ClusterFaultDomain -Type Rack -Name "Rack1" -FaultDomain "Site001"

This command creates a cluster fault domain of type Rack named Rack1 in the existing fault domain named Site001.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.

For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.

-ThrottleLimit

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet.

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