Resize-VirtualDisk |
Resizes an existing virtual disk to be larger or smaller.
Resize-VirtualDisk [-FriendlyName] <String[]> [-Size <UInt64>] [-CimSession <CimSession[]>]
[-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] [-AsJob] [-PassThru] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
Resize-VirtualDisk -UniqueId <String[]> [-Size <UInt64>] [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>]
[-AsJob] [-PassThru] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
Resize-VirtualDisk -Name <String[]> [-Size <UInt64>] [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>]
[-AsJob] [-PassThru] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
Resize-VirtualDisk -InputObject <CimInstance[]> [-Size <UInt64>] [-CimSession <CimSession[]>]
[-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] [-AsJob] [-PassThru] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
The Resize-VirtualDisk cmdlet resizes an existing virtual disk to be larger or smaller.
Note: The ability to expand or shrink is vendor specific.
Note: If there is a partition on the virtual disk, then the partition must also be resized in order for the client to have additional space on the disk surfaced to Windows.
PS C:\>Resize-VirtualDisk -FriendlyName "Sqldata5" -Size (25GB)
This example changes the size of the VirtualDisk object. Note: Any associated Partition object must also be resized to utilize this space.
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
