NAME Enable-StorageMaintenanceMode



SYNOPSIS

Enables storage maintenance mode on a device.





SYNTAX

Enable-StorageMaintenanceMode [-CimSession <CimSession>] [-IgnoreDetachedVirtualDisks] [-Manufacturer <String>] [-Model <String>]

[-ValidateVirtualDisksHealthy <Nullable [System.Boolean]>] [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

The Enable-StorageMaintenanceMode cmdlet enables storage maintenance mode on a PhysicalDisk device.



You can use this cmdlet on storage fault domains, which include PhysicalDisk, Enclosure, and SSU, that are part of a Storage Spaces pool or virtual

disk. While a device is in maintenance mode, no input/output operations flow to that device. Instead, if other fault domains are available and

configured, other fault domains serve input/output commands. If enabling storage maintenance mode takes the last copy of data offline for a virtual

disk, this cmdlet does not enable maintenance mode.





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



-IgnoreDetachedVirtualDisks [<SwitchParameter>]

Indicates that this cmdlet ignores detached virtual disks when it performs the criticality check for last data-copy and other health metrics.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Manufacturer [<String>]

Specifies the manufacturer of a device. This cmdlet matches manufacturer information of physical disk devices, and places those devices in

maintenance mode.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Model [<String>]

Specifies the model of a physical disk device that this cmdlet places in maintenance mode. If multiple devices fit a model string, this cmdlet

places those devices in maintenance mode.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-ValidateVirtualDisksHealthy [<Nullable [System.Boolean]>]

Indicates whether this cmdlet validates that all vitural disks in the fault domain to be placed in maintenance mode are healthy before it proceeds.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

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

about_CommonParameters (https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).



INPUTS

MSFT_StorageFaultDomain



You can pipe a fault domain object, PhysicalDisk, Enclosure, or SSU to this cmdlet.





OUTPUTS











NOTES





You can run this cmdlet only for fault domains that host resilient virtual disks, which include Mirror and Parity Space.



Example 1: Enable maintenance mode on a physical disk



PS C:\\>Get-PhysicalDisk -FriendlyName "Disk22" | Enable-StorageMaintenanceMode



This command gets a physical disk by using the Get-PhysicalDisk cmdlet, and then passes that object to the current cmdlet. The command enables storage

maintenance mode on the disk named Disk22.





Example 2: Enable maintenance mode on an enclosure



PS C:\\>Get-StorageEnclosure -FriendlyName "Enclosure17" | Enable-StorageMaintenanceMode



This command gets a storage enclosure disk by using the Get-StorageEnclosure cmdlet, and then passes that object to the current cmdlet. The command

enables storage maintenance mode on the enclosure named Enclosure17.
