Disable-PhysicalDiskIndication
Syntax
Parameter Set: ByName Disable-PhysicalDiskIndication [-FriendlyName] <String[]> [-AsJob] [-CimSession <CimSession[]> ] [-PassThru] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32> ] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>] Parameter Set: ByUniqueId Disable-PhysicalDiskIndication -UniqueId <String[]> [-AsJob] [-CimSession <CimSession[]> ] [-PassThru] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32> ] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>] Parameter Set: InputObject (cdxml) Disable-PhysicalDiskIndication -InputObject <CimInstance[]> [-AsJob] [-CimSession <CimSession[]> ] [-PassThru] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32> ] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]
Detailed Description
The Disable-PhysicalDiskIndication cmdlet turns off the identification LED on the specified physical disk. The LED is typically used for visual identification of the location of a physical disk in an enclosure for removal and replacement operations. This cmdlet requires a storage enclosure that supports SCSI Enclosure Services (SES).
Parameters
-AsJob
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.

-CimSession<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.

-ThrottleLimit<Int32>
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.

<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.
Inputs
The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.
-
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_PhysicalDisk
You can pipe a Disk object to the InputObject parameter.
Outputs
The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.
-
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_PhysicalDisk
This cmdlet outputs an object that represents the physical disk for which you disabled the identification LED.
Notes
-
The
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstanceobject is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.
Examples
Example 1: Disable the identification LED on all physical disks in a pool
This example assigns the storage pool named SpacePool to the $stpool variable, and then uses this cmdlet to disable the identification LED on all disks in the storage pool referenced by the $stpool variable, SpacePool.
PS C:\> $stpool = (Get-StoragePool -FriendlyName "SpacePool")
PS C:\> Disable-PhysicalDiskIndication -StoragePool $stpool
Example 2: Disable the identification LED on all physical disks used by a virtual disk
This example assign the virtual disk named Bruce’s Music to the $vdisk variable, and then uses this cmdlet to disable the identification LED on the virtual disk referenced by the $vdisk variable,
PS C:\> $vdisk = (Get-VirtualDisk -FriendlyName "Bruce's Music")
PS C:\> Disable-PhysicalDiskIndication -VirtualDisk $vdisk
