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).

Examples

Example 1: Disable the identification LED on all physical disks in a pool

PS C:\>$stpool = (Get-StoragePool -FriendlyName "SpacePool")



PS C:\>Disable-PhysicalDiskIndication -StoragePool $stpool

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.

Example 2: Disable the identification LED on all physical disks used by a virtual disk

PS C:\>$vdisk = (Get-VirtualDisk -FriendlyName "Bruce's Music")



PS C:\>Disable-PhysicalDiskIndication -VirtualDisk $vdisk

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,

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-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-CimSessionhttp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=227967 or Get-CimSessionhttp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=227966 cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-FriendlyName

Specifies the friendly name of the disk on which to turn off the identification LED.

Type:String[]
Position:1
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-InputObject

Specifies the PhysicalDisk object on which to turn off the identification LED. Enter a PhysicalDisk CIM object, which you can get by using the Get-PhysicalDisk cmdlet.

Type:CimInstance[]
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-PassThru

Specifies that the cmdlet should output an object representing physical disk. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-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.

Type:Int32
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-UniqueId

Specifies the UniqueID of the disk on which to turn off the identification LED.

Type:String[]
Aliases:Id
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-WhatIf

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

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

Inputs

CimInstance

You can pipe a Disk object to the InputObject parameter.

Outputs

CimInstance

This cmdlet outputs an object that represents the physical disk for which you disabled the identification LED.
