NAME Add-TargetPortToMaskingSet



SYNOPSIS

Adds one or more target ports to a specified masking set, allowing a connection between the target ports, and any virtual disks and initiator IDs that

the masking set contains.

DESCRIPTION

The Add-TargetPortToMaskingSet cmdlet adds one or more target ports to a specified masking set, allowing a connection between the target ports, and any

virtual disks and initiator IDs that the masking set contains. All target ports must use the same connection type (for example iSCSI or Fibre Channel).



Note: This cmdlet works only on storage subsystems that support multi-port per view selection (MaskingPortsPerView = 3). To view the MaskingPortsPerView

property, type the following cmdlets: Get-StorageSubSystem | Format-Table -Property FriendlyName, MaskingPortsPerView

PARAMETERS

-CimSession [<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



-MaskingSetFriendlyName <String[]>

Specifies the friendly name of the masking set to which you want to assign a target port.



Required? true

Position? 1

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-MaskingSetUniqueId <String[]>

Specifies the UniqueID of the masking set to which you want to assign a target port.



Required? true

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-PassThru [<SwitchParameter>]

Specifies that the cmdlet should output an object representing the masking set to which it added target ports. By default, this cmdlet does not

generate any output.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-TargetPortAddresses [<String[]>]

Specifies one or more target port addresses, which you can view by looking at the PortAddress property returned by the Get-TargetPort cmdlet. The

target port addresses will be added to the masking set.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-ThrottleLimit [<Int32>]

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 PowerShell???? 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



-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]

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



-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value false

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,

ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,

OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see

INPUTS

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_MaskingSet

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windo ... 30509.aspx





You can pipe a MaskingSet object to the InputObject parameter.







OUTPUTS

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_MaskingSet

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windo ... 30509.aspx





If you specify the Passthru parameter, this cmdlet outputs an object that represents the masking set to which you added a target port.





Example 1: Add a target port



PS C:\\> $TargetPortObject = Get-TargetPort

PS C:\\> $subSystem = Get-StorageSubSystem SANArray1

PS C:\\> $maskingSet = Get-MaskingSet "Cluster1MaskingSet"

PS C:\\> $subSystem | Get-TargetPort | Where-Object ConnectionType -eq "Fibre Channel" | Format-Table -AutoSize FriendlyName, PortAddress

FriendlyName?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? PortAddress

------------?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? -----------

Stor1_FCTargetPort.0c 500A098187995A75

PS C:\\> $maskingSet | Add-TargetPortToMaskingSet -TargetPortAddresses "500A098187995A75"



This example demonstrates enumerating the Fibre Channel target ports on a given storage subsystem, and adding one of the target ports to an existing

masking set.
