DESCRIPTION

The Remove-PhysicalDisk cmdlet removes a physical disk from a specified storage pool.

If sufficient space does not exist in the storage pool to tolerate this removal, then data loss can result (the user is warned about this). If the user configuration allows, then the user should add a replacement physical disk to the pool prior to removal of the old one.

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

-PhysicalDisks

Accepts one or more PhysicalDisk objects as input. The Physical Disk CIM objects represent the physical disks to be removed from the storage pool. Required? true Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-StoragePool

Specifies a storage pool as a CimInstance object. The cmdlet removes the physical disk associated with storage

pool that you specify. To obtain a storage pool object, use the Get-StoragePool cmdlet.

Required? true Position? 1 Default value none Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue) Accept wildcard characters? false

-StoragePoolFriendlyName

Specifies the friendly name of the storage pool from which to remove the physical disk. Required? true Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-StoragePoolName

Specifies the name of the storage pool from which to remove the physical disk. Required? true Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-StoragePoolUniqueId

Specifies the ID of the storage pool from which to remove the physical disk. Required? true Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false 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

-VirtualDisk

Specifies a virtual disk as a CimInstance object. The cmdlet removes the physical disk associated with virtual

disk that you specify. To obtain a virtual disk object, use the Get-VirtualDisk cmdlet.

Required? true Position? 1 Default value none Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue) Accept wildcard characters? false

-VirtualDiskFriendlyName

Specifies the friendly name of the virtual disk from which to remove the physical disk. Required? true Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-VirtualDiskName

Specifies the name of the virtual disk from which to remove the physical disk. Required? true Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-VirtualDiskUniqueId

Specifies the ID of the virtual disk from which to remove the physical disk. Required? true Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-Confirm []

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet. Required? false Position? named Default value false Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false
