SYNOPSIS

Returns virtual disk data.

SYNTAX

Get-DcsVirtualDisk   [ -ServerGroup <Object[]> ]   [ -Server <Object[]> ]   [ -Machine <Object[]> ]   [ -Group <Object> ]   [ -Kind <String[]> ]   [ -VirtualDisk <Object> ]   [ -OnlyWithReplications]   [ -WithCdpEnabled <Boolean> ]   [ -Connection <String> ]   [ -PipelineVariable <String> ]

DESCRIPTION

Returns virtual disk data. Filtering parameters may be specified to narrow the scope of the data returned. Data can be returned for one or more server groups. If no parameters are specified, data for all virtual disks on all servers in the default connection will be returned, and if that group is in a replication partner group, data for all virtual disks in the replication partner group will be returned as well.

PARAMETERS

-ServerGroup<Object[]>

The ServerHostGroupData object, name or ID of one or more server groups. If specified, virtual disk data for the designated server groups will be returned. If not specified, virtual disk data for the server group of the specified connection will be returned, and if that server group is in a replication partner group, virtual disk data for the replication partner group will also be returned.

Required: false

Position: named

Default value:

Accept pipeline input: false

Accept wildcard characters: false

-Server<Object[]>

The ServerHostData object, computer name or ID of one or more servers. Computer names must be unique or the names must be fully qualified. If specified, only data for those servers will be returned.

Required: false

Position: named

Default value:

Accept pipeline input: false

Accept wildcard characters: false

-Machine<Object[]>

The ServerHostData or ClientHostData object, computer name or ID that identifies one or more servers or clients in order to obtain data for virtual disks served to them. The computer name for a server must be unique or the names must be fully qualified. If specified, only data for virtual disks served to the designated machines will be returned.

Required: false

Position: named

Default value:

Accept pipeline input: false

Accept wildcard characters: false

-Group<Object>

The VirtualDiskGroupData, name or ID of a virtual disk group. If specified, only data for that group will be returned.

Required: false

Position: named

Default value:

Accept pipeline input: false

Accept wildcard characters: false

-Kind<String[]>

The kind of virtual disks to return. If specified, only data for the designated types will be returned. Specify one or more of the following values: "Standard" will return virtual disks that are not rollbacks or snapshots. "Rollback" will return virtual disks that are rollbacks. "Snapshot" will return virtual disks that are snapshots.

Required: false

Position: named

Default value:

Accept pipeline input: false

Accept wildcard characters: false

-VirtualDisk<Object>

VirtualDiskData object, name or ID that identifies a virtual disk. If specified, only data for that virtual disk will be returned.

Required: false

Position: named

Default value:

Accept pipeline input: true (ByValue)

Accept wildcard characters: false

-OnlyWithReplications<SwitchParameter>

Specify this parameter to only return data for virtual disks that are involved in replications.

Required: false

Position: named

Default value:

Accept pipeline input: false

Accept wildcard characters: false

-WithCdpEnabled<Boolean>

Use this parameter to return virtual disk data based on the Continuous Data Protection (CDP) setting. Specify $true to return data for virtual disks with CDP enabled or $false to return data for virtual disks with CDP disabled.

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 is 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
