[<CommonParameters>] The Remove-PhysicalDisk cmdlet removes a physical disk from a specified storage pool.
If sufficient space does not exist in the storage pool to tolerate this removal, then data loss can result (the user is warned about this). If the user configuration allows, then the user should add a replacement physical disk to the pool prior to removal of the old one.
PS C:\> $PDToRemove = Get-PhysicalDisk -Friendlyname "PhysicalDisk25"
PS C:\> Remove-PhysicalDisk -PhysicalDisks $PDToRemove -StoragePoolFriendlyName "DemoPool"This example removes a specific Physical Disk object from the specified storage pool.

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.

Specifies a storage pool as a CimInstance object. The cmdlet removes the physical disk associated with storage pool that you specify. To obtain a storage pool object, use the Get-StoragePool cmdlet.
| Type: | CimInstance |
| Position: | 0 |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Specifies the friendly name of the storage pool. The cmdlet removes the physical disk associated with storage pool that you specify.

| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
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 |

| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Specifies a virtual disk as a CimInstance object. The cmdlet removes the physical disk associated with virtual disk that you specify. To obtain a virtual disk object, use the Get-VirtualDisk cmdlet.
| Type: | CimInstance |
| Position: | 0 |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |

You can use the pipeline operator to pass an array of MSFT_PhysicalDisk objects to the PhysicalDisks parameter
You can use the pipeline operator to pass an MSFT_StoragePool object to the StoragePool parameter.
You can use the pipeline operator to pass an MSFT_VirtualDisk object to the VirtualDisk parameter.
This cmdlet does not generate output.
