Get-MPIOAvailableHW

Get-MPIOAvailableHW

Lists devices available to the system that can be managed by the Microsoft Device Specific Module (MSDSM) for Multipath I/O (MPIO).

Syntax

Parameter Set: DefaultSet
Get-MPIOAvailableHW [[-VendorId] <String[]> ] [[-ProductId] <String[]> ] [-AsJob] [-BusType <BusType[]> ] [-CimSession <CimSession[]> ] [-IsMultipathed <Boolean[]> ] [-IsSPC3Supported <Boolean[]> ] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32> ] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The cmdlet lists available hardware devices in the system that can be managed by the Microsoft Device Specific Module (MSDSM) for Multipath I/O (MPIO).

Note: To add one of the devices to MSDSM supported hardware list, use the vendor identifier (ID) and product ID of the device that are outputs from this cmdlet as inputs for the New-MSDSMSupportedHW cmdlet.

Parameters

-AsJob

-BusType<BusType[]>

Specifies the bus type via which the device is connected to the system. The acceptable values for this parameter are: iSCSI, SAS, and FibreChannel.

-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.

-IsMultipathed<Boolean[]>

Specifies that the device is currently multipath enabled by Microsoft MPIO.

-IsSPC3Supported<Boolean[]>

Specifies that the supported specification of the device is T10 SPC3 or later.

-ProductId<String[]>

Specifies the product ID of the device.

-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.

-VendorId<String[]>

Specifies the vendor ID of the device.

<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

• None

Outputs

The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.

• None
