Detailed Description

The Get-SCStorageArray cmdlet gets a storage array object from the Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) database.

You must install the storage provider on an available computer prior to discovering the storage resources.

For more information about configuring storage, see Configuring Storage in VMM (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=212013) in the Microsoft TechNet Library.

Parameters

-All

Indicates that this cmdlet retrieves a full list of all subordinate objects independent of the parent object. For example, the command Get-SCVirtualDiskDrive -All retrieves all virtual disk drive objects regardless of the virtual machine object or template object that each virtual disk drive object is associated with.
