ConvertTo-DcsDualVirtualDisk

SYNOPSIS

Converts a single virtual disk to a dual virtual disk.

SYNTAX

ConvertTo-DcsDualVirtualDisk   -SecondServer <String>   -VirtualDisk <Object>   [ -EnableRedundancy]   [ -Connection <String> ]   [ -PipelineVariable <String> ]

DESCRIPTION

Converts a single virtual disk to a dual virtual disk. The single virtual disk must be created from a shared pass-through disk or shared disk pool in order to convert to a dual virtual disk.

PARAMETERS

-SecondServer<String>
Computer name or ID of the new server that will be sharing the virtual disk. The computer name must be unique or the name must be fully qualified. The second server must share the disk pool or pass-through from which the virtual disk was created.

Required: true
Position: named
Default value:
Accept pipeline input: false
Accept wildcard characters: false

-VirtualDisk<Object>
VirtualDiskData object, name or ID that identifies the single virtual disk. The single virtual disk must be created from a shared disk pool or shared pass-through disk.

Required: true
Position: named
Default value:
Accept pipeline input: true (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters: false

-EnableRedundancy<SwitchParameter>
Specify this parameter to create redundant mirror paths between servers. Redundant mirror paths provide two mirror paths going in each direction between servers. Redundant paths can be either iSCSI or Fibre Channel. Each server is required to have two FC or two iSCSI ports with the mirror role enabled (see Set-DcsServerPortProperties). Port paths are automatically selected.

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

INPUTS

VirtualDiskData : Object that identifies and describes the virtual disk.

OUTPUTS

VirtualDiskData : Object that identifies and describes a virtual disk.

EXAMPLES


-------------- Example 1 Converts single virtual disk to dual by specifying the name --------------
ConvertTo-DcsDualVirtualDisk -SecondServer SSV2 -VirtualDisk "Virtual disk 1"
		

This cmdlet will convert the single virtual disk named "Virtual disk 1" to a dual virtual disk by adding a path to the second server named "SSV2". Server SSV2 shares the pass-through disk from which the virtual disk "Virtual disk 1" was created.
