NAME Start-VsanClusterDiskUpdate



SYNOPSIS

This cmdlet starts the update of all vSAN disks of a cluster to the latest vSAN disk format version supported by

the cluster.





SYNTAX

Start-VsanClusterDiskUpdate [-Cluster] <Cluster[]> [-AllowReducedRedundancy <Boolean>] [-EncryptionEnabled

<Boolean>] [-EraseDisksBeforeUse <Boolean>] [-KmsCluster <KmsCluster>] [-Server <VIServer[]>]

[-SkipHostRemediation] [-SpaceEfficiencyEnabled <Boolean>] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

This cmdlet starts the update of all vSAN disks of a cluster to the latest vSAN disk format version supported by

the cluster. After the update finishes successfully, all vSAN disks in the cluster use the latest disk format

version supported by the cluster. The cmdlet returns a task object that you can wait upon and query for progress.





PARAMETERS

-AllowReducedRedundancy <Boolean>

This optional parameter is applicable to specific vSAN cluster reconfigure operations that need to migrate

data for changing the vSAN disk format across the cluster. When specified, the process might move less data to

ensure storage object accessibility, and some objects might be kept at "reduced redundancy" state, which means

at a higher risk in case of a hardware failure during the migration process. The default value is $false.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Cluster <Cluster[]>

Specifies the cluster for which you want to update all vSAN disks.



Required? true

Position? 1

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)

Accept wildcard characters? true



-EncryptionEnabled <Boolean>

Specifies that you want to use encryption to format the disks in the cluster. The encryption configuration of

the cluster does not change when you set this parameter.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-EraseDisksBeforeUse <Boolean>

Specifies whether disks should be formatted when a normal disk is converted to an encrypted disk. The

encryption configuration of the cluster does not change when you set this parameter.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-KmsCluster <KmsCluster>

Specifies the key provider you want to use to format disks in the cluster. The encryption configuration of the

cluster does not change when you set this parameter.



Required? false

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



-SkipHostRemediation [<SwitchParameter>]

Indicates that host configuration remediation is skipped as part of the disk format conversion. By default,

remediation runs to ensure hosts are consistent. If hosts are inconsistent, the disk format conversion

prevents errors. If all hosts are already consistent and have the latest configuration, you can set the value

to $true.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value False

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-SpaceEfficiencyEnabled <Boolean>

Specifies whether to enable or disable vSAN data efficiency from the disk format layer. This parameter is only

applicable to all-flash clusters. The encryption configuration of the cluster does not change when you set

this parameter.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

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).



INPUTS



OUTPUTS
