Connect-VirtualDisk |
Connects a disconnected virtual disk to the specified computer when using the Windows Storage subsystem.
Connect-VirtualDisk [-FriendlyName] <String[]> [-StorageNodeName <String>] [-CimSession <CimSession[]>]
[-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] [-AsJob] [-PassThru] [<CommonParameters>]
Connect-VirtualDisk -UniqueId <String[]> [-StorageNodeName <String>] [-CimSession <CimSession[]>]
[-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] [-AsJob] [-PassThru] [<CommonParameters>]
Connect-VirtualDisk -Name <String[]> [-StorageNodeName <String>] [-CimSession <CimSession[]>]
[-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] [-AsJob] [-PassThru] [<CommonParameters>]
Connect-VirtualDisk -InputObject <CimInstance[]> [-StorageNodeName <String>] [-CimSession <CimSession[]>]
[-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] [-AsJob] [-PassThru] [<CommonParameters>]
The Connect-VirtualDisk cmdlet connects a disconnected virtual disk to the specified computer when using the Windows Storage subsystem.
To connect a virtual disk to a remote computer, from a management node in a subsystem that is registered on the management node, specify the StorageNodeName parameter.
To connect to a virtual disk to a remote computer, use the CimSession parameter, or use the Enter-PSSession or Invoke-Command cmdlets in conjunction with Connect-VirtualDisk.
PS C:\>Connect-VirtualDisk -FriendlyName "VirtualDisk1"
This example connects the virtual disk named VirtualDisk1 to the local computer.
PS C:\>Get-VirtualDisk -CimSession Srv2 | Where-Object -Filter { $_.OperationalStatus -eq "Detached" } | Connect-VirtualDisk
This example uses the Get-VirtualDisk cmdlet to get all virtual disk objects on the computer Srv2 (by using the CimSession parameter). It then pipes the objects to the Where-Object cmdlet to filter out all virtual disks except those with the "Detached" operational status. Finally, it pipes these objects to the Connect-VirtualDisk cmdlet.
PS C:\>Invoke-Command -ComputerName Srv1, Srv2 -ScriptBlock { Get-VirtualDisk | Where-Object -Filter { $_.OperationalStatus -eq "Detached" } | Connect-VirtualDisk }
This example uses the Invoke-Command cmdlet to run the cmdlets specified in Example 2 (now specified in the ScriptBlock parameter) on multiple remote computers simultaneously, with all processing done in parallel on each computer and only the results being sent back to the local PowerShell session.
PS C:\>Get-StorageSubSystem -FriendlyName "Clustered Storage Spaces on Cluster01" | Get-VirtualDisk -FriendlyName "VDisk01" | Connect-VirtualDisk -StorageNodeName "ClustNode1"
This example connects a virtual disk to a remote computer from a management node in a subsystem that is registered on the management node.
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: FalseSpecifies the friendly name of the virtual disk that you want to connect.
Type: String[]
Parameter Sets: ByFriendlyName
Aliases:
Required: True
Position: 0
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
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 that you want to connect.
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 a virtual disk. 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 the name of a computer on which to run the cmdlet.
Use this parameter only when you run the cmdlet from a management node to connect a virtual disk to a remote cluster subsystem for the purpose of setting the virtual disk to manual-attach. To set a virtual disk to manual-attach, use the Set-VirtualDisk cmdlet and specify the IsManualAttach parameter.
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 connect.
Type: String[]
Parameter Sets: ByUniqueId
Aliases: Id
Required: True
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
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 VirtualDisk objects to the InputObject parameter to specify one or more virtual disks to connect to the local computer.
The Connect-VirtualDisk cmdlet does not output objects unless you use the Passthru parameter, in which case it outputs objects that represent the virtual disks that you connected.
- When used in Failover Cluster, cmdlets from the Storage module operate on cluster level (all servers in the cluster).
