INPUTS











OUTPUTS

MSFT_FileShare









Example 1: Create an SMB file share



PS C:\\>$Pool = Get-StoragePool ????????FriendlyName "clusteredpool"

PS C:\\> $Volume = $Pool | New-Volume ????????FriendlyName "myvol" ????????UseMaximumSize $True

PS C:\\> New-FileShare ????????Name "Docs" ????????FileServerFriendlyName "scaleout-clus" ????????SourceVolume $Volume ????????IsContinuouslyAvailable $True ????????Protocol SMB



The first command gets the specified storage pool, and then stores it in the $Pool variable.



The second command creates a volume using the storage pool in $Pool, and then stores it in the $Volume variable.



The third command creates a continuously available SMB file share using the volume in $SourceVolume.
