NAME Copy-VDisk
SYNOPSIS
This cmdlet copies the specified VDisk objects to the specified datastore.
SYNTAX
Copy-VDisk [-VDisk] <VDisk[]> [-Datastore] <Datastore> [-Name <String>] [-RunAsync] -ScsiLun <ScsiLun> [-Server
<VIServer[]>] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]
Copy-VDisk [-VDisk] <VDisk[]> [-Datastore] <Datastore> [-Name <String>] [-RunAsync] [-Server <VIServer[]>]
[-StorageFormat <VDiskStorageFormat>] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
This cmdlet copies the specified VDisk objects to the specified datastore. For RDM (RawVDisk), only one VDisk can
be copied at once, and only copying from VMFS to VMFS is supported.
PARAMETERS
-Datastore <Datastore>
Specifies the datastore to which you want to copy the metadata of the VDisk object. For flat disk, the
contents of the disk are also copied to the specified datastore.
Required? true
Position? 2
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? true
-Name <String>
Specifies the name of the copy of the VDisk object.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-RunAsync [<SwitchParameter>]
Indicates that the command returns immediately without waiting for the task to complete. In this mode, the
output of the cmdlet is a Task object. For more information about the RunAsync parameter run "help
About_RunAsync" in the VMware PowerCLI console.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ScsiLun <ScsiLun>
Specifies the backing SCSI LUN for the copy of the VDisk object.
Required? true
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Server <VIServer[]>
Specifies the vCenter Server systems on which you want to run the cmdlet. If no value is given to this
parameter, the command runs on the default servers. For more information about default servers, see the
description of Connect-VIServer.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? true
-StorageFormat <VDiskStorageFormat>
Specifies the storage format of the copy of the VDisk object.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-VDisk <VDisk[]>
Specifies the VDisk objects you want to copy.
Required? true
Position? 1
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]
If the value is $true, indicates that the cmdlet asks for confirmation before running. If the value is $false,
the cmdlet runs without asking for user confirmation.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]
Indicates that the cmdlet is run only to display the changes that would be made and actually no objects are
modified.
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).
