Detailed 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.

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.

-Force

Runs the cmdlet without prompting for confirmation.

-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.

-Path<String>

Specifies the location where the data cache file is created.

-Percentage<UInt32>

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.

-SizeBytes<UInt64>

Specifies the size of the cache file in bytes.

-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.

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

<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.

• None

Outputs

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

• Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#root\StandardCimV2\MSFT_NetBranchCacheDataCacheExtension

  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.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

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

PS C:\> Add-BCDataCacheExtension

EXAMPLE 2

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

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