NAME
Enable-PhysicalDiskIdentification
SYNOPSIS
Enables the identification LED on the specified physical disk.SYNTAX
Enable-PhysicalDiskIdentification [-FriendlyName]
[[-CimSession ] [-ThrottleLimit ] ] Enable-PhysicalDiskIdentification [-CimSession
[] [-ThrottleLimit ] -UniqueId ] Enable-PhysicalDiskIdentification [-CimSession
] [-ThrottleLimit ] [ ] DESCRIPTION
The Enable-PhysicalDiskIdentification cmdlet enables the identification LED on the specified physical disk. The
LED is typically used for visual identification of the location of a physical disk in an enclosure for removal and replacement operations. This cmdlet requires a storage enclosure that supports SCSI Enclosure Services (SES).PARAMETERS
-CimSession [
Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false] -FriendlyName
Specifies the friendly name of the disk on which to enable the identification LED. Required? true Position? 1 Default value none Accept pipeline input? true(ByValue) Accept wildcard characters? false-ThrottleLimit [
Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false] -UniqueId
Specifies an ID used to uniquely identify a Disk object in the system. The ID persists through restarts. Required? true Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? true(ByValue) Accept wildcard characters? falseThis cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug, ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable, OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters (https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216). INPUTS
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_PhysicalDisk You can pipe a Disk object to the InputObject parameter.OUTPUTS
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_PhysicalDisk This cmdlet outputs an object that represents the physical disk for which you enabled the identification LED.NOTES
The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.Example 1: Enable the identification LED on all physical disks in a pool
PS C:\>$stpool = (Get-StoragePool -FriendlyName "SpacePool")
PS C:\> Enable-PhysicalDiskIndication -StoragePool $stpool
This example enables the identification LED on all physical disks associated with the storage pool named SpacePool. This is useful for identifying a specific virtual disk, when the LED on the disk in question is not functioning.Example 2: Enable the identification LED on all physical disks used by a virtual disk
PS C:\>$vdisk = (Get-VirtualDisk -FriendlyName "Bruce's Music")
PS C:\> Enable-PhysicalDiskIndication -VirtualDisk $vdisk
This example enables the identification LED on all physical disks associated with the virtual disk named Bruce's Music to visually identify the physical disk associated with the virtual disk.Example 3: Enable the identification LED on all disks that are not healthy
PS C:\>Get-PhysicalDisk | Where-Object -FilterScript { $_.HealthStatus -Ne "healthy" } |
Enable-PhysicalDiskIndication
This example gets all physical disks with a health status that is not Healthy, and pipes the disks to theEnable-PhysicalDiskIndication cmdlet, enabling the LEDs on the disks, if supported by the drive enclosure.
