Description
The Remove-PhysicalDisk cmdlet removes a physical disk from a specified storage pool.
If sufficient space does not exist in the storage pool to tolerate this removal, then data loss can result (the user is warned about this). If the user configuration allows, then the user should add a replacement physical disk to the pool prior to removal of the old one.
Examples
EXAMPLE 1
PS C:\> $PDToRemove = Get-PhysicalDisk -Friendlyname "PhysicalDisk25"
PS C:\> Remove-PhysicalDisk -PhysicalDisks $PDToRemove -StoragePoolFriendlyName "DemoPool"
This example removes a specific Physical Disk object from the specified storage pool.
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
-PhysicalDisks
Accepts one or more PhysicalDisk objects as input. The Physical Disk CIM objects represent the physical disks to be removed from the storage pool.
Parameter properties
| Type: | CimInstance[] |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-StoragePool
Specifies a storage pool as a CimInstance object. The cmdlet removes the physical disk associated with storage pool that you specify. To obtain a storage pool object, use the Get-StoragePool cmdlet.
Parameter properties
| Type: | CimInstance |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-StoragePoolFriendlyName
Specifies the friendly name of the storage pool from which to remove the physical disk.
Parameter properties
| Type: | String |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-StoragePoolName
Specifies the name of the storage pool from which to remove the physical disk.
Parameter properties
| Type: | String |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-StoragePoolUniqueId
Specifies the ID of the storage pool from which to remove the physical disk.
Parameter properties
| Type: | String |
| 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
-VirtualDisk
Specifies a virtual disk as a CimInstance object. The cmdlet removes the physical disk associated with virtual disk that you specify. To obtain a virtual disk object, use the Get-VirtualDisk cmdlet.
Parameter properties
| Type: | CimInstance |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-VirtualDiskFriendlyName
Specifies the friendly name of the virtual disk from which to remove the physical disk.
Parameter properties
| Type: | String |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-VirtualDiskName
Specifies the name of the virtual disk from which to remove the physical disk.
Parameter properties
| Type: | String |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-VirtualDiskUniqueId
Specifies the ID of the virtual disk from which to remove the physical disk.
Parameter properties
| Type: | String |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
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.
Inputs
CimInstance
You can use the pipeline operator to pass an array of MSFT_PhysicalDisk objects to the PhysicalDisks parameter
CimInstance
You can use the pipeline operator to pass an MSFT_StoragePool object to the StoragePool parameter.
CimInstance
You can use the pipeline operator to pass an MSFT_VirtualDisk object to the VirtualDisk parameter.
Outputs
None
By default, this cmdlet doesn't return any output.
Notes
- When used in Failover Cluster, cmdlets from the Storage module operate on cluster level (all servers in the cluster).
