The Show-VirtualDisk cmdlet makes a virtual disk available to a host (by initiator and target ports). This cmdlet is equivalent to a VDS unmask operation.
PS C:\> $initaddress = (Get-InitiatorPort)
PS C:\> $tarport = (Get-TargetPort)
PS C:\> Show-VirtualDisk -FriendlyName "SQLData_27a" -TargetPortAddresses $tarport.NodeAddress -InitiatorAddress $initaddress.NodeAddress
This example makes the "SQLData_27a" virtual disk available to all initiators and target ports of the local computer.
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: FalseRuns the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.
Type: CimSession[]
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases: Session
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: FalsePrompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases: cf
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: FalseSpecifies the friendly name of the virtual disk to make available to the specified hosts.
Type: String[]
Parameter Sets: ByFriendlyName
Aliases:
Required: True
Position: 0
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: FalseSpecifies the operating system of the host computer.
Type: HostType
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Accepted values: Unknown, Other, Standard, Solaris, HPUX, OpenVMS, Tru64, Netware, Sequent, AIX, DGUX, Dynix, Irix, CiscoISCSIStorageRouter, Linux, MicrosoftWindows, OS400, TRESPASS, HIUX, VMwareESXi, MicrosoftWindowsServer2008, MicrosoftWindowsServer2003
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: FalseSpecifies the address for an initiator to which the virtual disk should be unmasked.
Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: FalseSpecifies the input object that is used in a pipeline command.
Type: CimInstance[]
Parameter Sets: InputObject (cdxml)
Aliases:
Required: True
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters: FalseSpecifies the name of the virtual disk to make available to the specified hosts.
Type: String[]
Parameter Sets: ByName
Aliases:
Required: True
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: FalseSpecifies that the cmdlet should output an object representing the virtual disk it unmasked. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.
Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: FalseSpecifies one or more target port addresses to which the virtual disk should be unmasked.
Type: String[]
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: FalseSpecifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet.
If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer.
The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
Type: Int32
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: FalseSpecifies the UniqueID of the virtual disk to make available to the specified host.
Type: String[]
Parameter Sets: ByUniqueId
Aliases: Id
Required: True
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: FalseShows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases: wi
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: FalseThis cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutVariable, -OutBuffer, -PipelineVariable, -Verbose, -WarningAction, and -WarningVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.
You can pipe an MSFT_VirtualDisk object to the InputObject parameter.
If you specify the PassThru parameter, this cmdlet outputs an object representing the virtual disk you made available to a host computer.
- When used in Failover Cluster, cmdlets from the Storage module operate on cluster level (all servers in the cluster).
