DESCRIPTION
The Show-VirtualDisk cmdlet makes a virtual disk available to a host (by initiator and target ports). This cmdlet is equivalent to a VDS unmask
operation.
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 the friendly name of the virtual disk to make available to the specified hosts.
Required? true
Position? 1
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-HostType [<HostType>]
Specifies the operating system of the host computer.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-InitiatorAddress [<String>]
Specifies the address for an initiator to which the virtual disk should be unmasked.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Name <String[]>
Specifies the name of the virtual disk to make available to the specified hosts.
Required? true
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-PassThru [<SwitchParameter>]
Specifies that the cmdlet should output an object representing the virtual disk it unmasked. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-TargetPortAddresses [<String[]>]
Specifies one or more target port addresses to which the virtual disk should be unmasked.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
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 UniqueID of the virtual disk to make available to the specified host.
Required? true
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value false
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]
Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value false
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
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_VirtualDisk
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windo ... 30584.aspx
You can pipe an MSFT_VirtualDisk object to the InputObject parameter.
OUTPUTS
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_VirtualDisk
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windo ... 30584.aspx
If you specify the PassThru parameter, this cmdlet outputs an object representing the virtual disk you made available to a host computer.
Example 1: Make a virtual disk available to the local computer
PS C:\\> $initaddress = (Get-InitiatorPort)
PS C:\\> $tarport = (Get-TargetPort)
PS C:\\> Show-VirtualDisk -FriendlyName "SQLData_27a" -TargetPortAddresses $tarport.NodeAddress -InitiatorAddress $initaddress.NodeAddress
This example makes the "SQLData_27a" virtual disk available to all initiators and target ports of the local computer.
