DESCRIPTION
The Get-Partition cmdlet returns one or more Partition objects depending on the specified criteria. This cmdlet will return a Volume object or a set of
Volume objects given parameters to be used to uniquely identify a volume, or parameters to identify a set of volumes that meet the given set of criteria.
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
-Disk [<CimInstance>]
Accepts a Disk object as input. The Disk CIM object is exposed by the Get-Disk cmdlet.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-DiskId <String[]>
Specifies an ID used to identify a disk in the system.
Required? true
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-DiskNumber [<UInt32[]>]
Specifies an array of disk numbers.
Required? false
Position? 1
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-DriveLetter [<Char[]>]
Specifies a letter used to identify a drive or volume in the system. Specifically the drive on which the partition resides.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Offset [<UInt64[]>]

-StorageSubSystem [<Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance>]
Specifies the storage subsystem from which to get paritions. To obtain a StorageSubsystem object, use the Get-StorageSubSystem cmdlet.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? true(ByValue)
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
-UniqueId [<String[]>]
Specifies the ID of the partition to get.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? true(ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Volume [<CimInstance>]
Accepts a Volume object as input. The Volume CIM object is exposed by the Get-Volume cmdlet.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? false
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
