VsanStoragePoolDisk
This cmdlet adds one or multiple disks to the unique storage pool under a certain host. This cmdlet returns VsanStoragePoolDisk information of a disk that is claimed by a storage pool. Storage pool refers to vSAN ESA disks.
This cmdlet fetches VsanStoragePoolDisk information from a certain host or cluster. It also enables you to fetch storage pool disks by disk canonical name. If both host and disk canonical name are specified, the system uses both parameters.
This cmdlet removes a single or multiple storage pool disks on a vSAN cluster.
