DESCRIPTION

Creates a logical disk from a pool or a pass-through disk on a server. Multiple logical disks can be created if the source is from a pool. Logical disks can be used when creating virtual disks (see Add-DcsVirtualDisk).

PARAMETERS

-Server<String>

Computer name or ID of the server. The computer name must be unique or the name must be fully qualified.

Required: false

Position: named

Default value:

Accept pipeline input: false

Accept wildcard characters: false

-Pool<String>

Name or ID of the pool if used as the storage source of the logical disk. To resolve by name, the name must be unique to the server group or the server must be specified.

Required: true

Position: named

Default value:

Accept pipeline input: false

Accept wildcard characters: false

-ReservedSpace<String>

The amount of space reserved in a pool for exclusive use by the logical disk. This space must be free in the pool. Valid values consist of the number followed by the unit of measurement (MiB, GiB, TiB). Decimals may be used. For example, "100GiB", "1.5TiB", and "500000MiB" are valid sizes. Size can range from a minimum of 1GiB to the size of the virtual disk.

Required: false

Position: named

Default value:

Accept pipeline input: false

Accept wildcard characters: false

-Count<UInt32>

The number of logical disks to create from a pool. If not specified, one logical disk will be created.

Required: false

Position: named

Default value:

Accept pipeline input: false

Accept wildcard characters: false

-SectorSize<DataSize>

The sector size of the logical disk. Valid values are "512", "512B", "4096", or "4KiB". If the unit is not included, it is assumed to represent the number of bytes in the sector. If this parameter is not specified, the sector size of the disk pool will be used.

Required: false

Position: named

Default value:

Accept pipeline input: false

Accept wildcard characters: false

-Connection<String>

Alias of the connection to the server group. If not specified, the default connection will be used.

Required: false

Position: named

Default value:

Accept pipeline input: false

Accept wildcard characters: false

-PipelineVariable<String>

Required: false

Position: named

Default value:

Accept pipeline input: false

Accept wildcard characters: false

-PassThroughDisk<String>

Physical disk name or ID of the pass-through disk if used as the storage source of the logical disk. To resolve by name, the name must be unique to the server group or the server must be specified.

Required: true

Position: named

Default value:

Accept pipeline input: true (ByValue)

Accept wildcard characters: false

INPUTS

OUTPUTS

LogicalDiskData : Object the identifies and describes the logical disk.
