|
CapacityMB | Int64 | named |
|
Specifies the container volume capacity in MB. |
| required
|
Datastore | Datastore[] | named |
|
Specifies the datastores that you want to use for the volume placement. In case of multiple placement candidate datastores, the server selects one datastore (subject to change) based on various factors such as storage policy and available free space. |
| required
|
DynamicBlock | SwitchParameter | named |
|
Indicates that the DynamicBlockCnsVolume parameter is set. |
| required
|
Name | String | named |
|
Specifies the name of the CNS volume. |
| optional | CnsVolumeMetadata | CnsVolumeMetadata | named |
|
Specifies the metadata for the CNS volume. |
| optional | ProgressAction | ActionPreference | named |
|
|
| optional | RunAsync | SwitchParameter | named |
|
Indicates that the command returns immediately without waiting for the task to complete. In this mode, the output of the cmdlet is a Task object. For more information about the RunAsync parameter, run "help About_RunAsync" in the VMware PowerCLI console. |
| optional | Server | VIServer[] | named |
|
Specifies the vCenter Server systems on which you want to run the cmdlet. If no value is provided or $null value is passed to this parameter, the command runs on the default servers. For more information about default servers, see the description of the Connect-VIServer cmdlet. |
| optional | StoragePolicy | SpbmStoragePolicy | named |
|
Specifies the storage profile for the container volume. A vSAN datastore default policy is used when this field is not set. |

VDisk | VDisk | named |
|
Specifies the block backing for a container volume. |
| optional | CnsVolumeMetadata | CnsVolumeMetadata | named |
|
Specifies the metadata for the CNS volume. |
| optional | ProgressAction | ActionPreference | named |
|
