Description

The Add-BCDataCacheExtension cmdlet adds a new data cache file to increase the amount of cache storage space that is available on a hosted cache server. Data cache files can be spread across multiple disks to maximize performance.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

PS C:\>Add-BCDataCacheExtension

This example creates a data cache extension in the default location reserving 5% of the drive.

EXAMPLE 2

PS C:\>Add-BCDataCacheExtension -Path C:\datacache -Percentage 10

This example adds a data cache extension in the C:\datacache directory reserving 10% of the drive C.

Parameters

-AsJob

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.

Type:CimSession[]
Aliases:Session
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:cf

Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Force

Runs the cmdlet without prompting for confirmation.

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

-PassThru

Sends items from the interactive window down the pipeline as input to other cmdlets. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output. To send items from the interactive window down the pipeline, click to select the items and then click OK. Shift-click and Ctrl-click are supported.

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

-Path

Specifies the location where the data cache file is created.

Type:String
Position:2
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Percentage

Specifies the size of the cache file as a percentage of the disk space.

For example, if the value of 15 is provided, then the data cache file has a maximum size of fifteen percent of the disk space on the hard drive where the file is created.

Type:UInt32
Position:1
Default value:5
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-SizeBytes

Specifies the size of the cache file in bytes.

Type:UInt64
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
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
