   [-ProductId] <String>
   [-CimSession <CimSession[]>]
   [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>]
   [-AsJob]

Description

The New-MSDSMSupportedHW cmdlet creates a new hardware identifier (ID) with a specific vendor ID and product ID combination in the Microsoft Device Specific Module (MSDSM) supported hardware list.

Unlike MPCLAIM.exe, when you specify the vendor ID and product ID, do not pad the fields with spaces.

The Update-MPIOClaimedHW cmdlet must be run to have the Multipath I/O (MPIO) claiming process take effect.

Examples

Example 1: Add a hardware ID

PS C:\> New-MSDSMSupportedHW -ProductID "VendorX" -VendorID "ProductY"

This example adds a hardware identifier with vendor ID of VendorX and product ID of ProductY combination in the MSDSM supported hardware list.

Example 2: Add all applicable hardware IDs

PS C:\> New-MSDSMSupportedHW -AllApplicable

This example finds all applicable devices and then adds corresponding hardware identifiers to the MSDSM supported hardware list. Applicable devices are those that are connected to the system by using Fibre Channel, iSCSI, or SAS.

Parameters

-AllApplicable

Specifies that all applicable devices that are connected to system by using Fibre Channel, iSCSI, or SAS, are added to the MSDSM supported hardware list.

Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete. The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet. For more information about Windows PowerShell® background jobs, see about_Jobs.

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

-ProductId

Specifies the product ID.

-ThrottleLimit

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
