Parameters

Required Parameter Name Type Position Features Description
required
 CapacityMB Int64 named
Specifies the container volume capacity in MB.
required
 Datastore Datastore[] named
  • pipeline
 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
  • wildcards
 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
  • pipeline
 Specifies the storage profile for the container volume. A vSAN datastore default policy is used when this field is not set.

Example 2 

New-CnsVolume -Name 'test-cns' -FileShare $fileshare -CnsVolumeMetadata $metadata -StaticFileShare

Creates a CNS volume with 'test-cns' as a volume name, $fileshare as a file share backing for a container volume, and $metadata as a CNS volume metadata.

Example 3 

New-CnsVolume -Name 'test-cns' -CnsVolumeMetadata $metadata -CapacityMB 1024 -Datastore $datastore -DynamicBlock
