NAME

Start-DcsVirtualDiskReclamation

SYNOPSIS

Starts the reclamation process for a virtual disk.

SYNTAX

Start-DcsVirtualDiskReclamation   -VirtualDisk <Object>   [ -Connection <String> ]   [ -PipelineVariable <String> ]

DESCRIPTION

Starts the reclamation process for a virtual disk. The reclamation process de-allocates any storage allocation units (SAUs) that are completely filled with zeros in the virtual disk. Those SAUs are added back to the available free space in the pool. The reclamation process could have an impact on the performance of the host. The process can be aborted without damage to the virtual disk integrity and restarted at a later time if performance is impacted, see Stop-DcsVirtualDiskReclamation.
