The Get-VirtualDisk cmdlet returns a list of VirtualDisk objects, across all storage pools, across all providers, or optionally a filtered subset based on provided criteria.
Examples
EXAMPLE 1
PS C:\>Get-VirtualDiskThis example returns all VirtualDisk objects across all visible StoragePool objects, across all visible StorageProvider objects.
EXAMPLE 2
PS C:\>$stpool = (Get-StoragePool -FriendlyName "SpacesPool")
PS C:\>Get-VirtualDisk -StoragePool $stpoolThis example lists only the virtual disks from the StoragePool object named SpacesPool.
EXAMPLE 3
PS C:\>Get-VirtualDisk | Where-Object -FilterScript {$_.HealthStatus -Ne "Healthy"}This example lists all virtual disks, across all pools, and all providers, which are not currently in a healthy state.
EXAMPLE 4
PS C:\>$part = (Get-Partition -DriveLetter Y)
PS C:\>Get-VirtualDisk -Partition $partThis example gets the virtual disk associated with the partition with drive letter Y.
