Description

The Get-StorageEnclosure cmdlet gets storage enclosures that are visible to your computer.

Examples

Example 1: Get all enclosures

PS C:\>Get-StorageEnclosure

This command gets all the enclosures visible to your computer.

Example 2: Get an enclosure by using a friendly name

PS C:\>Get-StorageEnclosure -FriendlyName "E1"

This command gets the enclosure named E1.

Example 3: Get an enclosure by using an ID

PS C:\>Get-StorageEnclosure -UniqueId "{b2c21800-b833-11e2-9981-806e6f6e6963}"

This command gets the enclosure that has the specified UniqueId.

Example 4: Get unhealthy enclosures

PS C:\>Get-StorageEnclosure -HealthStatus "Unhealthy"

This command gets enclosures that have the health status of Unhealthy.

Example 5: Get enclosures from a manufacturer

PS C:\>Get-StorageEnclosure -Manufacturer "Fabrikam"

This command gets enclosures from a specific manufacturer.

Example 6: Get an enclosure that contains a specified disk

PS C:\>Get-PhysicalDisk -FriendlyName "PhysicalDisk35" | Get-StorageEnclosure

This command uses the Get-PhysicalDisk cmdlet to get the disk named PhysicalDisk35, and then passes that object to the current cmdlet by using the pipeline operator. The current cmdlet gets the enclosure that contains the disk named PhysicalDisk35.

Example 7: Get enclosures attached to a storage node

PS C:\>Get-StorageNode -Name "Node14" | Get-StorageEnclosure

This command uses the Get-StorageNode cmdlet to get the storage node named Node14, and then passes that object to the current cmdlet by using the pipeline operator. The current cmdlet gets enclosures attached to the node named Node14.

Example 8: Get enclosures on a subsystem

PS C:\>Get-StorageSubSystem -FriendlyName "Clustered storage spaces on main cluster" | Get-StorageEnclosure

This command uses the Get-StorageSubSystem cmdlet to get the storage subsystem that has the specified friendly name, and then passes that object to the current cmdlet by using the pipeline operator. The current cmdlet gets enclosures on the specified subsystem.

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

-FriendlyName

Specifies an array of friendly names. The cmdlet gets storage enclosures that the names specify.

Type:	String[]
Position:	0
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-HealthStatus

Specifies an array of health status values. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

• Healthy
• Warning
• Unhealthy
• Unknown

Health status describes the health of an enclosure. This cmdlet gets the enclosures that have health statuses that this parameter specifies.

Type:	HealthStatus[]
Accepted values:	Healthy, Warning, Unhealthy, Unknown
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Manufacturer

Specifies the name of a manufacturer. This cmdlet gets enclosures for the manufacturers that this parameter identifies.

Type:	String[]
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Model

Specifies an array of model IDs. This cmdlet gets enclosures that the model IDs specify.

Type:	String[]
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-PhysicalDisk

Specifies a physical disk as a CimInstance object. The cmdlet gets storage enclosures that contain the disk that the object specifies. To obtain a physical disk object, use the Get-PhysicalDisk cmdlet.

Type:	CimInstance
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-PhysicallyConnected

Indicates that this cmdlet gets storage enclosures that are physically connected to a storage node.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-SerialNumber

Specifies the serial number of the storage enclosure to get.

Type:	String[]
Position:	1
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-StorageNode

Specifies a storage node as a CimInstance object. The cmdlet gets storage enclosures connected to the storage node that the object specifies. To obtain a storage node object, use the Get-StorageNode cmdlet.

Type:	CimInstance
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-StorageSubSystem

Specifies a storage subsystem as a CimInstance object. This cmdlet gets storage enclosures that belong to the subsystem that the object specifies. To obtain a storage subsystem object, use the Get-StorageSubSystem cmdlet.

Type:	CimInstance
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
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

-UniqueId

Specifies an array of IDs. This cmdlet gets the enclosures that the IDs specify.

Type:	String[]
Aliases:	Id
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

Outputs

MSFT_StorageEnclosure[]

This cmdlet returns an array of StorageEnclosure objects.

Notes

• When used in Failover Cluster, cmdlets from the Storage module operate on cluster level (all servers in the cluster).
