Description

The Optimize-StoragePool cmdlet rebalances the Spaces allocations in a pool to disks with available capacity.

If you are adding new disks or fault domains, this operation helps move existing Spaces allocations to them, and optimization improves their performance. However, rebalancing is an I/O intensive operation.

Examples

Example 1: Optimize a Storage pool

PS C:\>Optimize-StoragePool -FriendlyName "SQLPool"

This command rebalances the Spaces allocation for all of the Spaces in the pool named SQLPool.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

Parameter properties

Type:SwitchParameter
Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

-CimSession

Runs 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.

Parameter properties

Type:

CimSession[]

Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False
Aliases:Session

Parameter sets

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Parameter properties

Type:SwitchParameter
Default value:False
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False
Aliases:cf

Parameter sets

-FriendlyName

Specifies the friendly name of the Storage pool to optimize.

Parameter properties

Type:

String[]

Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

-InputObject

Specifies the input object that is used in a pipeline command.

Parameter properties

Type:

CimInstance[]

Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

-Name

Specifies the name of the Storage pool to optimize.

Parameter properties

Type:

String[]

Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

-PassThru

Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

Parameter properties

Type:SwitchParameter
Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

-ThrottleLimit

Specifies 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.

Parameter properties

Type:Int32
Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False

Parameter sets

-UniqueId

Specifies the unique ID of the storage pool to optimize.

Parameter properties

Type:

String[]

Default value:None
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False
Aliases:Id

Parameter sets

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

Parameter properties

Type:SwitchParameter
Default value:False
Supports wildcards:False
DontShow:False
Aliases:wi

Parameter sets

CommonParameters

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutBuffer, -OutVariable, -PipelineVariable, -ProgressAction, -Verbose, -WarningAction, and -WarningVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.

Notes

  • When used in Failover Cluster, cmdlets from the Storage module operate on cluster level (all servers in the cluster).
