DESCRIPTION

The Get-PhysicalDisk cmdlet gets a list of all PhysicalDisk objects visible across any available Storage

Management Providers, or optionally a filtered list of disks.

PARAMETERS

-CanPool []

Indicates that this cmdlet gets physical disks that are available for use in a storage pool. Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-CimSession []

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such

as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local

computer. Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-Description []

Specifies a description. The cmdlet gets the physical disks that contain the description. You can use wildcard characters to enter a description pattern. Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-FriendlyName []

Gets the physical disk with the specified friendly name. Enter a friendly name, or use wildcard characters to enter a name pattern. Required? false Position? 1 Default value none Accept pipeline input? true(ByValue) Accept wildcard characters? false

-HasAllocations []

Indicates whether the cmdlet gets a list of physical disks that host the extents of the virtual disk that you specify by using the VirtualDisk parameter. Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-HealthStatus []

Specifies the health status of physical disks to get. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

-- Healthy

-- Unhealthy

-- Unknown

-- Warning

Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-Manufacturer []

Specifies a manufacturer. The cmdlet gets the physical disks that match the value. You can use wildcard characters to enter a pattern. Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-Model []

Specifies a model. The cmdlet gets the physical disks that match the value. You can use wildcard characters to enter a pattern. Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-NoRedundancy []

Indicates that this cmdlet gets physical disks that contain the last remaining copy of the data of a virtual disk. Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-ObjectId []

Specifies the ID of the physical disk to get. Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? true(ByValue) Accept wildcard characters? false

-PhysicallyConnected []

Indicates that this cmdlet gets physical disks that are physically connected to the specified storage node. Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-SelectedForUse []

Indicates whether the cmdlet gets a list of physical disks to host the extents that belong to the virtual disk specified by the VirtualDisk parameter. Specify the physical disks to host the extents of a virtual disk by

using the PhysicalDisksToUse parameter of the New-VirtualDisk cmdlet.

Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-SerialNumber []

Specifies the serial number of the physical disk to get. Required? false Position? 2 Default value none Accept pipeline input? true(ByValue) Accept wildcard characters? false

-StorageEnclosure

Specifies a storage enclosure associated with the physical disk that this cmdlet gets. To obtain a

StorageEnclosure object, use the Get-StorageEnclosure cmdlet.

Required? true Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue) Accept wildcard characters? false

-StorageNode

Specifies a storage node as a CimInstance object. The cmdlet gets the physical disk connected to the node that

you specify. To obtain a storage node object, use the Get-StorageNode cmdlet.

Required? true Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue) Accept wildcard characters? false

-StoragePool

Accepts a StoragePool object as input and gets the physical disks that belong to the pool. The Storage Pool

CIM object is exposed by the Get-StoragePool cmdlet.

Required? true Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue) Accept wildcard characters? false

-StorageSubsystem

Specifies a storage subsystem. This cmdlet gets physical disks attached to the storage subsystem that you

specify. To obtain a StorageSubsystem object, use the Get-StorageSubSystem cmdlet.

Required? true Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? true(ByValue) Accept wildcard characters? false

-UniqueId []

Gets only the physical disks with the specified IDs. Type one or more IDs (separated by commas), or use wildcard characters to enter a pattern. Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? true(ByValue) Accept wildcard characters? false

-Usage []

Specifies an allocation method or usage. This cmdlet gets the physical disks that have the specified allocation method. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

-- AutoSelect

-- HotSpare

-- Journal

-- ManualSelect

-- Retired

-- Unknown

Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-VirtualDisk

Accepts a VirtualDisk object as input and gets the physical disks used by the virtual disk. The VirtualDisk

object is exposed by the Get-VirtualDisk cmdlet.

Required? true Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue) Accept wildcard characters? false

-VirtualRangeMax []

This parameter is reserved for future use. Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-VirtualRangeMin []

This parameter is reserved for future use. Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug, ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable, OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable.

INPUTS

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_StoragePool http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/desktop/hh830551.aspx You can use the pipeline operator to pass an MSFT_StoragePool object to the StoragePool parameter. Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_StorageSubsystem http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/desktop/hh830569.aspx You can use the pipeline operator to pass an MSFT_StorageSubsystem object to the StorageSubsystem parameter. Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_VirtualDisk http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/desktop/hh830584.aspx You can use the pipeline operator to pass an MSFT_VirtualDisk object to the VirtualDisk parameter.

OUTPUTS

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_PhysicalDisk http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/desktop/hh830532.aspx

The Get-PhysicalDisk cmdlet returns objects that represent physical disks.

Example 1: Getting all physical disks

PS C:\> Get-PhysicalDisk

FriendlyName CanPool OperationalStatus HealthStatus Usage

Size

------------ -------- ----------------- ------------ -----

----

PhysicalDisk4 False OK Healthy Data Store 25 GB This example returns an array of all PhysicalDisk objects present in the computer. A storage management provider is required to manage physical disks.

Example 2: Getting all physical disks eligible for adding to a storage pool

PS C:\>Get-PhysicalDisk -CanPool $True

This example returns an array of PhysicalDisk objects that are available for adding to a storage pool (they are in a primordial pool).
