NAME New-VsanDiskGroup
SYNOPSIS
This cmdlet creates a new vSAN disk group backed by the specified devices.
SYNTAX
New-VsanDiskGroup -DataDiskCanonicalName <String[]> [-RunAsync] [-Server <VIServer[]>] -SsdCanonicalName <String>
-VMHost <VMHost> [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
This cmdlet creates a new vSAN disk group backed by the specified solid-state device and hard disk devices.
PARAMETERS
-DataDiskCanonicalName <String[]>
Specifies the canonical name of hard disks that should be included in this disk group and used for data.
Required? true
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
-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
-SsdCanonicalName <String>
Specifies the canonical name of a solid-state device that would be used by this disk group.
Required? true
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-VMHost <VMHost>
Specifies the hosts that the created groups are on.
Required? true
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? true
-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>]
