New-Cluster tries to cluster wrong disks


dell chassis 2 blade servers , storage.

three virtual disks on chassis presented both servers.

each server has 2 disks on local storage, local c , d drives.

windows server 2012 r2

i trying automate configuration of servers, including clustering them.

when run test-cluster, report shows identified of drives on each node, , knows 3 shared disks validated clustering.

when run:

new-cluster -name cluster1 -node server1, server2, -staticaddress 10.10.10.10

the 3 shared disks correctly clustered.

but doing local d drives.  after command runs, disks containing d drives offline , readonly on both servers.  if try bring 1 of them online, get:

set-disk : specified object managed microsoft failover clustering component. disk must in cluster
maintenance mode , cluster resource status must online perform operation.

how new-cluster ignore local d: drives?
