[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Get-FileStorageTier cmdlet gets all the files assigned to a Storage tier on a tiered volume stored on a tiered Storage space, and the status of each file. A file that you assign to a Storage tier is called a pinned file. The possible status values are the following:
- Not on tier
- Completely on tier
- Partially on tier
Examples
Example 1: Get status for a file
PS C:\>Get-FileStorageTier -FilePath "D:\DataFile06.txt"This command gets the pinned file that you specify, and its status.
Example 2: Get pinned files for a volume
PS C:\>Get-FileStorageTier -VolumePath "\\?\Volume{6d6e000d-6038-11e2-be6d-806e6f6e6963}\"This command gets the pinned files for the specified volume, and their status values.
Parameters
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-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.
| Type: | CimSession[] |
| Aliases: | Session |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-FilePath
Specifies the full path of a file. The cmdlet gets the pinned file that you specify and its status.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-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.
| Type: | Int32 |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Volume
Specifies a volume as a CimInstance object. The cmdlet gets the pinned files for the volume that you specify, and their status values. To obtain a volume, use the Get-Volume cmdlet.
| Type: | CimInstance |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-VolumeDriveLetter
Specifies the drive letter of a volume. The cmdlet gets the pinned files for the volume that you specify, and their status values.
| Type: | Char |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-VolumePath
Specifies the path of a volume. The cmdlet gets the pinned files for the volume that you specify, and their status values.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Outputs
MSFT_FileStorageTier
This cmdlet generates a file storage tier object that contains the desired storage tier, file path, status, desired storage tier file size, and state. State includes values of Ok, Pending, and Processing.
Notes
- When used in Failover Cluster, cmdlets from the Storage module operate on cluster level (all servers in the cluster).
