Set-StorageProvider

Set-StorageProvider

Modifies whether to enable the SMP provider cache.

Syntax

Parameter Set: ByName
Set-StorageProvider [-ProviderName] <String[]> [-AsJob] [-CimSession <CimSession[]> ] [-PassThru] [-RemoteSubsystemCacheMode <RemoteSubsystemCacheMode> ] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32> ] [ <CommonParameters>]

Parameter Set: ByUniqueId
Set-StorageProvider -ProviderUniqueId <String[]> [-AsJob] [-CimSession <CimSession[]> ] [-PassThru] [-RemoteSubsystemCacheMode <RemoteSubsystemCacheMode> ] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32> ] [ <CommonParameters>]

Parameter Set: InputObject (cdxml)
Set-StorageProvider -InputObject <CimInstance[]> [-AsJob] [-CimSession <CimSession[]> ] [-PassThru] [-RemoteSubsystemCacheMode <RemoteSubsystemCacheMode> ] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32> ] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The Set-StorageProvider cmdlet modifies whether to enable the symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) provider cache. Specify a value of Manual for the RemoteSubsystemCacheMode parameter to enable caching. If you enable the cache on the management node that manages storage on remote computers or clusters, the management node caches remote objects. This caching can improve enumeration operations, such as the Get-StoragePool cmdlet or the New-VirtualDisk cmdlet.

Parameters

-AsJob

-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.

-InputObject<CimInstance[]>

Specifies the input to this cmdlet. You can use this parameter, or you can pipe the input to this cmdlet.

-PassThru

Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

-ProviderName<String[]>

Specifies an array of names of providers. The cmdlet modifies the providers that you specify.

-ProviderUniqueId<String[]>

Specifies an array of unique IDs of providers. The cmdlet modifies the providers that you specify.

-RemoteSubsystemCacheMode<RemoteSubsystemCacheMode>

Specifies the cache mode for a remote subsystem. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

-- Disable
-- Manual

-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 (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=113216).

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_StorageProvider

  You can use the pipeline operator to pass one or more MSFT_StorageProvider objects 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_StorageProvider

  If you use the Passthru parameter, this cmdlet outputs an object that represents the storage provider for which you changed settings

Notes

• The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object 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.
