SYNTAX

Set-DcsVirtualDiskWitnessProperties   -VirtualDisk <Object>   -Witness <String>   [ -Connection <String> ]   [ -PipelineVariable <String> ]

Setting a witness or setting the Witness option to IOFenced will override the server group default witness setting for the specified virtual disk. When setting the witness to -IOFenced or -NoWitness, the witness is not automatically deleted from the configuration. (See Remove-DcsWitness in order to delete it.)
