DESCRIPTION
The New-StorageTier cmdlet creates a storage tier in a storage pool.
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
-ColumnIsolation []
Specifies at which level columns within a virtual disk should be isolated from each other. We recommend
omitting this parameter and using the defaults. 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
-Description []
Specifies a description for the storage tier that you create.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-FaultDomainAwareness []
Specifies at what level you want the virtual disk to be fault tolerant. The acceptable values for this
parameter are:
-- PhysicalDisk
-- StorageScaleUnit
-- StorageChassis
-- StorageEnclosure
-- StorageRack
For example, specify StorageScaleUnit to store data copies on separate nodes of a Storage Spaces Direct
cluster. This cmdlet refers to nodes of a Storage Spaces Direct cluster as storage scale units because you can
expand the scale of the cluster by adding more nodes.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-FriendlyName
Specifies a friendly name for the storage tier.
Required? true
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. Thus 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
-MediaType []
Specifies the media type of the storage tier. The cmdlet creates the storage tier for the media type that you
specify. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
-- SSD
-- SCM
-- HDD
Use SCM for storage-class memory such as NVDIMMs.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-NumberOfColumns []
Specifies the number of columns to use for the storage tier. Columns represent the number of underlying
physical disks in a tier across which one stripe of data for a virtual disk is written.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-NumberOfDataCopies []
Specifies the number of data copies to create. Specify 2 to create a two-way mirror, or 3 to specify a
three-way mirror or for dual-parity.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-NumberOfGroups []
Specifics the number of groups used by Local Reconstruction Coding (LRC) with a dual parity virtual disk. We
recommend omitting this parameter and using the defaults.
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. This value
represents how many failed physical disks the virtual disk can tolerate without data loss. The redundancy
values are as follows:
-- For two-way mirror spaces, the virtual disk can tolerate 1 failed physical disk without data loss.
-- For three-way mirror spaces, the virtual disk can tolerate 2 failed physical disks without data loss.
-- For single-parity spaces, the virtual disk can tolerate 1 failed physical disk without data loss.
-- For dual-parity spaces the virtual disk can tolerate 2 failed physical disks without data loss.
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: Fixed and Thin. You must
specify Fixed for storage spaces that use storage tiers or a clustered storage pool.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ResiliencySettingName []
Specifies the resiliency setting, or storage layout, to use for the virtual disk. The acceptable values for
this parameter are: Simple, Mirror, and Parity.
By default, when you specify Mirror, Storage Spaces creates a two-way mirror. When you specify Parity, Storage
Spaces creates a single-parity space.
To create a three-way mirror space, specify 3 for the NumberofDataCopies parameter or 2 for the
PhysicalDiskRedundancy parameter.
To create a dual-parity space, specify 2 for the PhysicalDiskRedundancy parameter and Fixed provisioning for
the ProvisioningType parameter.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-StoragePoolFriendlyName
Specifies the friendly name of a storage pool. The cmdlet creates the storage tier in the storage pool that
you specify.
Required? true
Position? 1
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-StoragePoolName
Specifies the name of a storage pool. The cmdlet creates the storage tier in the storage pool that you
specify. This human-readable name is not necessarily unique.
Required? true
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-StoragePoolUniqueId
Specifies the unique ID, as a string, of a storage pool. The cmdlet creates the storage tiers in the storage
pool that has the ID that you specify.
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
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see

This cmdlet outputs an object that represents the storage tier
Example 1: Create a storage tier
PS C:\> New-StorageTier -StoragePoolFriendlyName "TierPool01" -FriendlyName "Standard_HDD_Tier" -MediaType HDD
This command creates a storage tier for hard disk drives named Tier11 in the storage pool named TierPool01.
