NAME Get-StorageTierSupportedSize



SYNOPSIS

Gets the minimum and maximum possible sizes of a storage tier.





SYNTAX

Get-StorageTierSupportedSize [-FriendlyName] <String[]> [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [-ResiliencySettingName <String>] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>]

[<CommonParameters>]



Get-StorageTierSupportedSize [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [-ResiliencySettingName <String>] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] -UniqueId <String[]>

[<CommonParameters>]



Get-StorageTierSupportedSize [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [-ResiliencySettingName <String>] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

The Get-StorageTierSupportSize cmdlet gets the minimum and maximum possible sizes of a storage tier. Use this information to create or extend a virtual

disk with the specified resiliency setting on a Windows Storage subsystem.





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



-FriendlyName <String[]>

Specifies an array of friendly names. The cmdlet gets the storage tiers that match the names that you specify.



Required? true

Position? 1

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-ResiliencySettingName [<String>]

Specifies the name of the desired resiliency setting, for example, Simple, Mirror, or Parity.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

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 an array of unique IDs, as strings.



Required? true

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

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

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



You can use the pipeline operator to pass an MSFT_StorageTier object to the InputObject parameter to get the storage tier supported size associated

with the StorageTier object.





OUTPUTS

System.Management.Automation.PSCustomObject



This cmdlet returns an object that lists the minimum and maximum amounts of space that the specified type of virtual disk could use in the specified

storage tier as well as the tier size divisor. These values are System.UInt64 objects.





Example 1: Get the size estimate for a mirror space



PS C:\\> Get-StorageTierSupportedSize -FriendlyName "*SSD*" -ResiliencySettingName "Mirror"

SupportedSizes TierSizeMin TierSizeMax TierSizeDivisor

-------------- ----------- ----------- ---------------

{} 4294967296 2130303778816 4294967296



This command gets the storage tier supported size estimates for capacity of a Fast (SSD) tier for a mirror space by using the FriendlyName and

ResiliencySettingName parameters.
