vSAN Storage Category
Cmdlets are usually implemented around resource operations. The four basic operations are CREATE, READ, UPDATE and DELETE. This set of operations is known as CRUD. Most of the cmdlets support CRUD which are respectively cmdlets that start with the New/Get/Set/Remove cmdlet verbs but they also may have additional operations
Step 1: Retrieve a object by running a Get command
You can READ objects by using
Get-VsanStoragePoolDisk
cmdlet. See example below:
# Retrieves all vSAN storage pool disks from the specified cluster.
Get-VsanstoragepoolDisk -Cluster $config.cluster
Step 2 : Run commands from the CRUD group
You can UPDATE objects by using
Add-VsanStoragePoolDisk
cmdlet. See example below:
# Adds disks with specified canonical names from a specified host as "singleTier" vSAN storage pool disks.
Add-VsanStoragePoolDisk -VMHost (Get-VMHost 10.192.201.50) -VsanStoragePoolDiskType "singleTier" -DiskCanonicalName ("mpx.vmhba0:C0:T11:L0","mpx.vmhba0:C0:T12:L0")
You can REMOVE objects by using
Remove-VsanStoragePoolDisk
cmdlet. See example below:
# Removes vSAN storage pool disks from the specified host without confirmation.
$disks =get-vsanstoragepooldisk -VMHost (Get-VMHost 10.192.201.50) Remove-VsanStoragePoolDisk -VsanStoragePoolDisk $disks -VsanDataMigrationMode nodatamigration -Purpose "test" -Confirm:$false
