The Get-StorageTier cmdlet gets storage tiers on Windows Storage subsystems. Storage tiers are physical disks that
are grouped by characteristics, for example, solid-state drives (SSD) and hybrid hard drives (HHD).
PARAMETERS
-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-FriendlyName [
Specifies an array of friendly names of storage tiers to get. Required? false Position? 1 Default value none] Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false-MediaType [
Specifies an array of media types. The cmdlet gets the storage tiers for the media type that you specify. The acceptable values for this parameter are:] -- SSD
-- HDD
Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false-StoragePool [
Specifies a storage pool as a CIMInstance object. The cmdlet gets the storage tiers for the storage pool that] you specify. To obtain a storage pool, use the Get-StoragePool cmdlet.
Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue) Accept wildcard characters? false-ThrottleLimit [
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShellr calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer. Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false] -UniqueId [
Specifies an array of IDs of storage tiers to get. Required? false Position? named Default value none] Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false-VirtualDisk [
Specifies a virtual disk as a CIMInstance object. The cmdlet gets the storage tiers for the virtual disk that] you specify. To obtain a virtual disk, use theGet-VirtualDisk cmdlet.
Required? false 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.

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 to get the storage tier associated with the StoragePool object. 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 to get the storage tier associated with the VirtualDisk object.OUTPUTS
MSFT_StorageTier http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/desktop/dn535818(v=vs.85).aspx This cmdlet returns an object that contains details about the storage tier, such as tier friendly name, media type and size.Example 1: Get a storage tier
PS C:\>Get-StorageTier -FriendlyName "StoreTier01"
This command gets the storage tier named StoreTier01.Example 2: Get a storage tier from a storage pool
PS C:\> Get-StoragePool -StoragePoolFriendlyName "StorePool01" | Get-StorageTier
This command gets the object that contains the storage pool named StorePool01, and then passes the object to theGet-StorageTier cmdlet by using the pipeline operator. The Get-StorageTier cmdlet gets the storage tier from the
storage pool object.Example 3: Get a storage tier from a virtual disk
PS C:\>Get-VirtualDisk-FriendlyName "VDisk01" | Get-StorageTier
This command uses the Get-VirtualDisk cmdlet to get the tiered virtual disk named VDisk01. The command passes the
virtual disk to the Get-StorageTier cmdlet by using the pipeline operator. The Get-StorageTier cmdlet gets the
storage tiers that compose the tiered virtual disk.RELATED LINKS
