Storage

Adds an initiator ID to an existing masking set, granting the host associated with the initiator ID access to the virtual disk and target port resources defined in the masking set.

Adds an access path such as a drive letter or folder to a partition.

Adds a physical disk to the specified storage pool or manually assigns a physical disk to a specific virtual disk.

Adds one or more target ports to a specified masking set, allowing a connection between the target ports, and any virtual disks and initiator IDs that the masking set contains.

Adds a virtual disk to a specified masking set and grants access to the virtual disk to all initiator IDs defined in the masking set.

Cleans a disk by removing all partition information and un-initializing it, erasing all data on the disk.

Connects a disconnected virtual disk to the specified computer when using the Storage Spaces subsystem.

Turns off the identification LED on the specified physical disk.

Disconnects a virtual disk from the specified computer, revoking access to the virtual disk.

Dismounts a disk image (virtual hard disk or ISO) so that it can no longer be accessed as a disk.

Enables the identification LED on the specified physical disk.

Formats one or more existing volumes or a new volume on an existing partition.

Gets one or more disks visible to the operating system.

Gets one or more disk image objects (virtual hard disk or ISO).

Gets the InitiatorID objects for the specified iSCSI initiators.

Returns a list of all partition objects visible on all disks, or optionally a filtered list using specified parameters.

Returns information on supported partition sizes for the specified Disk object.

Gets a list of all PhysicalDisk objects visible across any available Storage Management Providers, or optionally a filtered list.

Gets the resiliency settings (also known as storage layouts) available for creating virtual disks on the specified storage subsystem.

Returns information about long-running Storage module jobs, such as a repair task.

Gets a specific storage pool, or a set of StoragePool objects either from all storage subsystems across all storage providers, or optionally a filtered subset based on specific parameters.

Returns a list of the storage providers available on the local computer.

Gets the storage reliability counters for the disk or physical disk that you specify.

Returns the StorageSetting object.

Gets one or more StorageSubsystem objects.

Returns a TargetPort object associated with a specific port address and connection type.

Returns a TargetPortal object.

Returns a list of VirtualDisk objects, across all storage pools, across all providers, or optionally a filtered subset based on provided criteria.

Returns all sizes supported by a storage pool for virtual disk creation based on the specified resiliency setting name.

Gets the specified Volume object, or all Volume objects if no filter is provided.

Hides the virtual disk from the host when the Storage Management Provider in use does not support masking sets.

Initializes a RAW disk for first time use, enabling the disk to be formatted and used to store data.

Mounts a previously created disk image (virtual hard disk or ISO), making it appear as a normal disk.

Creates a new masking set.

Creates a new partition on an existing Disk object.

Creates a new storage pool using a group of physical disks, and a specific storage subsystem exposed by a storage provider.

Allows the creation of a VirtualDisk object on a storage subsystem that does not support creation of storage pools.

Creates a new virtual disk in the specified storage pool.

Creates a new clone of a specified virtual disk.

Creates a new snapshot of the specified virtual disk.

Optimizes a volume, performing such tasks as defragmentation and trim.

Removes an initiator identifier (ID).

Removes an initiator identifier (ID) from a masking set.

Removes a masking set.

Deletes the specified Partition object on an existing disk and any underlying Volume objects.

Removes an access path such as a drive letter or folder from a partition.

Removes a physical disk from a specified storage pool.

Deletes a storage pool and associated VirtualDisk objects.

Removes a specified target port from a masking set.

Deletes an existing virtual disk and reclaims the used space for use by other virtual disks in the same storage pool.

Removes a virtual disk from a specified masking set to block access to the virtual disk by an InitiatorIds object defined in the masking set.

Renames an existing masking set.

Performs repairs on a virtual disk that is unhealthy.

Performs repairs on a volume.

Resets the status of a physical disk.

Resizes an existing virtual disk to be larger or smaller.

Takes a Disk object or unique disk identifiers and a set of attributes, and updates the physical disk on the system.

Sets properties on the InitiatorPort object.

Sets attributes of a partition, such as active, read-only, and offline states.

Sets attributes on a specific physical disk.

Modifies the properties of the specified resiliency setting name.

Modifies the properties of the specified storage pool.

Adjusts or configures current storage settings of the StorageSetting object.

Sets the friendly name or description of the specified StorageSubsystem object.

Modifies the attributes of an existing virtual disk.

Sets or changes the file system label of an existing volume.

Makes a virtual disk available to a host.

Updates cached information about the specified Disk object only

Initiates an update on the host storage cache to reflect the current status of storage.
