I experienced a power failure when I was in Bootcamp. When I rebooted againI noticed I could not boot into Bootcamp. But I could access the Bootcamp partition in in Finder and be able to work on files.

So when I went to Disk Utility, I noticed that it states the size of the Fusion Drive as being just bigger than macOS install and completely disregards the Bootcamp partition

What command do I need to issue to add the Bootcamp partition back into Fusion Drive?
 
If anyone is running Bootcamp, could you post your diskutil cs list and diskutil list please
 
Solution

That is to say i can boot into my Windows again.

It seems though diskutil (maybe by default?) doesn't pick up the BOOTCAMP partition as part of the logical drive

Anyway,the most important thing I was able to boot my BOOTCAMP/Windows partition after it was gone/lost/ disappeared from the boot options
