Volume Manager Disk Group resource type needs to be re-added when a Windows Server Failover cluster is destroyed.
Problem
If a Windows Server Failover Cluster (WSFC) is destroyed, when it is re-created it will not know of additionally added types. For example, the default configuration of WSFC has no knowledge of the Volume Manager Disk Group (VMDG) resource.
