Get-StoragePool

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete. The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet. For more information about Windows PowerShell® background jobs, see about_Jobs.

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.

Specifies the friendly name of the storage pool to get.

Specifies the health status(es) of the storage pool to get. Specify one or more of the following values: Healthy, Warning, Unhealthy, or Unknown.

Specifies whether to get (concrete) storage pools or primordial storage pools (which store physical disks that have yet to be added to a concrete storage pool). To get (concrete) storage pools, specify the $False Boolean value. To get primordial pools, specify the $True Boolean value.

Specifies the name of the storage pool to get.

Gets any storage pools that match the specified OtherUsageDescription string.

Gets the storage pool that contains the specified PhysicalDisk object. Enter a PhysicalDisk CIM object. The Physical Disk CIM object is exposed by the Get-PhysicalDisk cmdlet.

Gets the storage pool associated with the specified ResiliencySetting object. Enter a single ResiliencySetting CIM object as input, or pipe multiple ResiliencySetting objects to the Get-StoragePool cmdlet to view all pools that support the specified resiliency setting. Resiliency Setting CIM objects are exposed by the Get-ResiliencySetting cmdlet.

Accepts a StorageSubsystem object as input. The Storage Subsystem CIM object is exposed by the Get-StorageSubsystem cmdlet.

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.

Specifies the UniqueID of the storage pool to get. If the UniqueID includes brackets, enclose the string in quotation marks.

Gets any storage pools that match the specified Usage value. Acceptable values: ReservedAsDeltaReplicaContainer, ReservedForComputerSystem, ReservedForLocalReplicationServices, ReservedForMigrationServices, ReservedForRemoteReplicationServices, ReservedForSparing, Unknown, Unrestricted, and Other

Gets the storage pool associated with the specified virtual disk object. Enter a VirtualDisk CIM object. The Virtual Disk CIM object is exposed by the Get-VirtualDisk cmdlet.

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see    about_CommonParameters.

This example lists all storage pools, (when run without parameter) from all Storage Management Providers, from all storage subsystems. This list may optionally be filtered using one or more parameters.

PS C:\> Get-StoragePool

FriendlyName            OperationalStatus       HealthStatus            IsPrimordial            IsReadOnly
------------            -----------------       ------------            ------------            ----------
CompanyData             OK                      Healthy                 False                   False

This example lists all (concrete) storage pools, excluding primordial pools (which store physical disks that have yet to be added to a concrete storage pool).

PS C:\> Get-StoragePool -IsPrimordial $False

FriendlyName            OperationalStatus       HealthStatus            IsPrimordial            IsReadOnly
------------            -----------------       ------------            ------------            ----------
CompanyData             OK                      Healthy                 False                   False

This example uses the Get-ResiliencySetting cmdlet to retrieve ResiliencySetting objects that represent each storage pool that supports the specified resiliency setting (also known as storage layout), in this case Mirror, and then pipes the array of objects to the Get-StoragePool cmdlet.

PS C:\> Get-ResiliencySetting -Name Mirror | Get-StoragePool

FriendlyName                  OperationalStatus             HealthStatus                  IsPrimordial                  IsReadOnly
------------                  -----------------             ------------                  ------------                  ----------                   
CompanyData                   OK                            Healthy                       False                         False
