DESCRIPTION

The New-StorageSubsystemVirtualDisk cmdlet allows the creation of a VirtualDisk object on a storage subsystem that does not support creation of storage pools, or if its storage pool does not support virtual disk creation.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

PS C:\> $stsubsys = (Get-StorageSubsystem)
PS C:\> New-StorageSubsystemVirtualDisk -StorageSubsystemUniqueId $stsubsys.UniqueID -FriendlyName "VirtualDisk01" -Size "5GB" -ProvisioningType Fixed

This example creates a Virtual Disk named VirtualDisk01 on the provided StorageSubsystem without the use of a Storage Pool
