DESCRIPTION

The Get-VirtualDisk cmdlet returns a list of VirtualDisk objects, across all storage pools, across all providers, or optionally a filtered subset based on provided criteria.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

PS C:\> Get-VirtualDisk

This example returns all VirtualDisk objects across all visible StoragePool objects, across all visible StorageProvider objects.

EXAMPLE 2

PS C:\> $stpool = (Get-StoragePool -FriendlyName "SpacesPool")
PS C:\> Get-VirtualDisk -StoragePool $stpool

This example lists only the virtual disks from the StoragePool object named SpacesPool.

EXAMPLE 3

PS C:\> Get-VirtualDisk | Where-Object -FilterScript {$_.HealthStatus -Ne "Healthy"}

This example lists all virtual disks, across all pools, and all providers, which are not currently in a healthy state.

EXAMPLE 4

PS C:\> Get-VirtualDisk -FriendlyName "VDisk01" | Get-Disk | Get-Partition | Get-Volume

This example gets the partition and volume associated with a virtual disk. The command gets the virtual disk named VDisk01 and passes the virtual disk to the Get-Disk cmdlet by using the pipeline operator. The Get-Disk cmdlet gets the disk associated with the virtual disk and passes the disk to the Get-Partition by using the pipeline operator. The Get-Partition cmdlet gets the partition associated with the disk, and passes the partition to the Get-Volume cmdlet by using the pipeline operator. The Get-Volume cmdlet gets the volume associated with the partition.
