EXAMPLES


-------------- Example 1 Sets a backend disk path to preferred --------------
Get-DcsPhysicalDiskPath -Server Server1 -Disk "Disk 0" | Set-DcsPhysicalDiskPathPreference -Preferred $true
		

The cmdlet Get-DcsPhysicalDiskPath is invoked to obtain the DiskPathData object for the physical disk named "Disk 0" on the server named "Server1". This object is piped to Set-DcsPhysicalDiskPathPreference with the Preferred parameter set to true.
