Syntax

Get-SdStorage [-StorageSystem]  <String[]>  [-ComputerName]  <String>  [-ExcludeStorageFootprint]  <>  [-ExcludeSMB]  <>  [-ExcludeSAN]  <>  [-GetMirrorInfo]  <>  [-GetUnmanagedDisks]  <>  [-CloneLevel]  <>  [-Session]  <String>  [-Host]  <String>  [-Path]  <Object[]>  [-ComputerName]  <String>  [-ExcludeStorageFootprint]  <>  [-ExcludeSMB]  <>  [-ExcludeSAN]  <>  [-GetUnmanagedDisks]  <>  [-CloneLevel]  <>  [-Session]  <String>  [-Host]  <String>

Detailed Description

Gets storage system information for Windows disks or SMB shares.You must enable the CSV feature in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 if you want to use that feature.

Parameters

Name Description Required? Pipeline Input Default Value

StorageSystem

Specifies the storage system name or IP address from which you want to get active storage, such as SMB shares. When you use this parameter with ExcludeSMB, this parameter is ignored.

false

true (ByPropertyName)

ComputerName

Indicates the name of the host from which you want all the LUNs to be returned.

false

true (ByPropertyName)

ExcludeStorageFootprint

Restricts the storage system path results to the host resource attributes only, and excludes the storage footprint. This parameter is ignored when you specify it with Path.

false

true (ByPropertyName)

ExcludeSMB

Indicates that you do not want to view information about SMB shares.

false

true (ByPropertyName)

ExcludeSAN

Indicates that you do not want to view information about LUNs.

false

true (ByPropertyName)

GetMirrorInfo

Indicates that you want to view volume relationship and state information for the volumes on the source storage resources to which you have provided a path.

false

true (ByPropertyName)

GetUnmanagedDisks

Indicates that you want to view information about available unmanaged disks. If a disk is mapped to a LUN on an unregistered storage system, it displays as an unmanaged disk, whether it is or not.If you set the parameter ExcludeSAN, GetUnmanagedDisks is ignored.

false

true (ByPropertyName)

CloneLevel

If the storage system information is for a clone, specifies the clone level.

false

true (ByPropertyName)

Session

Specifies the session ID from Open-SmConnection.

false

true (ByPropertyName)

Host

Specifies the name or IP address of the host on which you execute the operation. The default is your local machine.

false

true (ByPropertyName)

Path

Specifies a list of Windows volumes or SMB share.You cannot mix Windows volumes with SMB shares in the same input path.

false

true (ByPropertyName)

Examples

Example 1: Getting the storage system for a SMB share

 PS C:\> Get-SdStorage -Path "\\SQLCifsServer\SalesDBShare"

This example syntax gets the storage system path for the SMB share \\SQLCifsServer\SalesDBShare.

Example 2: Getting storage system paths for multiple SMB shares

 PS C:\> Get-SdStorage -Path "\\SQLCifsServer\SalesDBShare","\\SQLCifsServer2\MarketDBShare"

This example syntax gets the storage system path for the SMB Shares \\SQLCifsServer\SalesDBShare and \\SQLCifsServer2\MarketDBShare.

Example 3: Getting detailed information about host and storage system resources

 PS C:\> Get-SdStorage -Path \\SQLCIFSServer\SalesDBShare | %{$_.HostResource,$_.StorageSystemResource}

This example syntax gets extended information about the host resource and the storage system resource.

Example 4: Getting all the SMB shares on the specified storage systems

 PS C:\> Get-SdStorage -StorageSystem "10.225.13.110","172.17.175.75" -ExcludeSAN

This example syntax gets all the SMB shares on storage systems 10.225.13.110 and 172.17.175.75.

Example 5: Getting all Windows disks and SMB shares from registered storage systems

 PS C:\> Get-SdStorage

This example syntax gets all the Windows disks and SMB shares from all registered storage systems.

Example 6: Getting the Windows disks and SMB shares with the host resources details only on the specified storage system

 PS C:\> Get-SdStorage -StorageSystem 10.225.13.110 -ExcludeStorageFootprint

This example syntax gets information about the host resources for Windows disks and SMB shares on storage system 10.225.13.110. You can use this parameter to help your application achieve better performance if you need information about Windows disks and SMB shares but not their storage footprint.

Example 7: Getting the all the LUNs but not SMB shares

 PS C:\> Get-SdStorage -ExcludeSMB

This example syntax retrieves information about all the LUNs on the local host.

Example 8: Getting volume mirror information

 PS C:\> (Get-SdStorage -StorageSystem 172.17.165.31 -GetMirrorInfo).StorageSystemResource.Volume

This example syntax uses the -GetMirrorInfo parameter to get volume state and relationship information from the source storage system resource.
