EXAMPLE 1



PS C:\\>Remove-StoragePool -FriendlyName "DemoPool"



This example removes the storage pool with the friendly name DemoPool. When a storage pool is created, it consumes one or more physical disks to create

the pool, from which virtual disks are subsequently created. The removal of a storage pool, which can only be performed after all virtual disks have

first been removed, destroys the storage pool, and returns the physical disks back to a non-pooled state, where they may be re-consumed.
