DESCRIPTION
The New-StorageSubsystemVirtualDisk cmdlet allows the creation of a VirtualDisk object on a storage subsystem that
does not support creation of storage pools, or if its storage pool does not support virtual disk creation.
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
-FaultDomainAwareness []
Specifies the default fault domain for new virtual disks created in this storage pool. The fault domain
specifies at what level you want to be fault tolerant. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
-- PhysicalDisk
-- StorageScaleUnit
-- StorageChassis
-- StorageEnclosure
-- StorageRack
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-FriendlyName []
Specifies a friendly name for a virtual disk. The friendly name may be defined by a user and is not guaranteed
to be unique.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Interleave []
Specifies the interleave value to use during the creation of a storage tier. The interleave value represents
the number of bytes that is written to a single physical disk. Therefore, Interleave * NumberOfColumns yields
the size of one stripe of user data.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-IsEnclosureAware []
Specifies that the enclosure supports SCSI Enclosure Services (SES), which is utilized for providing things
like Slot location for a physical disk, as well as to manage LEDs on the disks for visual identification.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-NumberOfColumns []
Specifies the number of columns to create.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-NumberOfDataCopies []
Specifies the number of data copies to create.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-OtherUsageDescription []
Specifies the usage of this object.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ParityLayout []
Specifies the parity layout to be used with the virtual disk to be created.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-PhysicalDiskRedundancy []
Specifies the physical disk redundancy value to use during the creation of a virtual disk.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ProvisioningType []
Specifies the type of provisioning. The acceptable values for this parameter are:�Unknown, Fixed, or Thin.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-RequestNoSinglePointOfFailure []
Requests that the virtual disk is created on hardware that has path redundancy to provide resilience to
storage path faults. This cannot be guaranteed.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Size []
Specifies the size of the partition to create. If not specified, then the number will default to Bytes. The
acceptable values for this parameter are: Bytes, KB, MB, GB, or TB. The size may be defined by a user.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-StorageSubSystemFriendlyName
Specifies the friendly name of the storage subsystem. The friendly name may be defined by the user.
Required? true
Position? 1
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-StorageSubSystemName
Specifies the name of the storage subsystem provided by the Storage Management.
Required? true
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-StorageSubSystemUniqueId
Specifies an ID used to uniquely identify the storage subsystem in the system. The ID persists through reboots.
Required? true
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
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
-Usage []
Specifies the intended usage.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-UseMaximumSize []
Uses the maximum allowable size for this virtual disk.
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. For more information, see

EXAMPLE 1
PS C:\> $stsubsys = (Get-StorageSubsystem)
PS C:\> New-StorageSubsystemVirtualDisk -StorageSubsystemUniqueId $stsubsys.UniqueID -FriendlyName "VirtualDisk01"
-Size "5GB" -ProvisioningType Fixed
This example creates a Virtual Disk named VirtualDisk01 on the provided StorageSubsystem without the use of a
Storage Pool
